*.dll files are Dynamic link libaries that contains extensions and functions that can used by applications (*.exe).
Dll's contains machine code, which you should not modify.

What do you want to do?

You cannot modify them.

But you can download Visual Studio, download the source code of that libary, change that code, and compile it into a new .dll. You may also have to compile Minetest yourself, if you using a different version than the old libary.

But this requires a lot of programming experience. Do you have programming experience?

What makes you feel you need to "edit" a DLL?
There are valid reasons to do so, but as addi said, it's not easy for the casual user, and most probably that's not really needed.

So I'll repeat addi's question: What do you want to do?

So... you're wanting to mod a very old (0.3.x or earlier) version of MT?
