For getting permission, you pretty much just PM them and ask.

For the rest of it, it depends on what you want to do, that could be a long answer or a very short one.

There's nothing to stop you from making any changes to mod's you like. you just cant upload them with out express permission from the owner. There are some pretty good tutorials you can watch that help you learn the controlls. Initial editing is quite east but it does get complicated quickly.

 

some useful tips:

A = turn lights on and off

Z = Move objects up and down with mouse

G = Move and object up a small ammount

T = Center over a selected object

M = show markers

Hold X,Y or Z when rotating to rotate on the specific axis

Hold space to move around and shift to change angle and rotate around selected object.

 

Once you select fallout 3 esm in the data window, select the mod you wish to edit and set it as the active file.

most stuff is pretty well covered on the bethesta website.
