Sure, you edit the source code and then recompile it..

A .VLX file is the result of compiling the source code (.LSP, .DCL files, etc.).
You need to find and edit the source code, then recompile it to a VLX file.

No. The vlx file is the result of compiling the source code. It's a one way street. If you want a modified VLX, you have to modify the source code and recompile. There is no way to edit a VLX directly.
