You can edit the files directly on your server using any text editor available to you, however, it's not advisable to make changes directly on a live/production environment. What happens if/when you make a mistake or a change has a negative effect (eg on performance), how will you revert those changes efficiently and swiftly, and how will you know which file(s) are causing any issue(s)?

Instead create a local environment to make and test your changes, ideally then deploy those changes to a remote staging/development environment for further testing before deploying to your live/production environment.
