Usually to edit these types of files, just right click and use openwith, and open it with notepad (or shift and right click it if open with wasnt there in the first place). Just edit the file in notepad then save it.

I don't think editing a save game file is that trivial. Each game has its own format for the file and most of them are binary so they can't be edited by a text editor like notepad. I would suggest looking for a tool that can read this particular game's files or look for information on which part of the file you need to modify to accomplish your purpose. Good luck!

There are two things you need to know to edit a game, basic programming and hex. That is because when you try and edit the code of a game, you WILL require the use of a hexadecimal editor, which can be downloaded anywhere, legally too i think. Once you have one, open up your save file in it. Now the file will basically consists of lines after lines of hexadecimal numbers. You'll have to manually test out which numbers controls what by changing things in the game and then see how the data changes, this is extremely tedious and I recommend looking up the game you wish to edit first and see if someone has come up with a guideline for which lines to edit to achieve a certain effect.
