You can't edit compiled java-files, so you need to get the source-files. If you haven't got those, forget it. You could decompile it, but you get some fucked up and non java-like code as far as i know.
Try opening the jar-file with winrar. If it contains java-files, you are lucky, if not, you lose. If you get the java-files and edit them, you need to compile the whole thing again using a compiler from java.sun.com.
What is it for anyway? Maybe it's easy to write again, if you don't have the original files.
Holy crap i wrote -files a lot in this post!
Hope this helps a little
