Do you mean you want to modify the source code of an open source application?
So download it, use an editor and modify what you want. That's all.
The real question(s) would be: what do you want to modify and why do you want to modify it?
So you need to have a goal, an improvement idea or a bugfix or whatever. But first you need to know the application and you need to be able to build it. Also you need to check your modification, validate the result (if it is really better and does not cause any trouble). And finally you need to release and document it.
