As described above, you can open "pcparam" in the folder, open the file of the .pdt you want to modify, and change what you like. However, if you wanted this to only be for a custom modified scenario and not for the whole game, you'd need to ensure that the scenario file you wish to use as you modified scenario (I assume you'd have made a copy of the vanilla scenario you are modding and work off that) references the appropriate .pdt. You can do this by tweaking the scenario file using note pad or a similar program, altering the name of the .pdt there to the custom one you created (by copying the vanilla .pdt). You can do this same process for the .oob. Although it is not immediately intuitive, once you learn the basics you can pretty easily create your own modified scenarios, bearing in mind that if you want to use these in PBEM, you need to send copies of them to your opponent (whatever you modified, .scn, .pdt or .oob or all three).

I tend not to PBEM with modified files, since so many of these decisions are judgments for which reasonable people can differ. Its easier to just play with the vanilla and then everyone can let the chips fall where they may. But sometimes if you have an agreeable opponent and there is full disclosure of what was done, it can work out well too.
