Modify official modules

I'd like to modify the predefined modules to include some changes, such as changing the splash screen.
Is it possible to do so or should I make my own module for that purpose?
So far, I've just begun by something easy like translating the notifications in the session-idle-watcher script inside the 003-settings module. Followed the guide but, although the ISO worked like a charm, the script fails to run (does nothing at all).
Maybe it's about encoding so I'll try again, but I just wanted to rule out the possibility.
Thanks in advance.

When I save changes to a module I strip out everything except what I want. There is alot of unwanted stuff that has nothing to do with the desired changes.

I run with the minimum modules to start before saving to a module.

I extract the changes module and remove piece by piece until all that is left is the desired change. I make alot of test modules that way but I narrow down the exact parts I want.

Then I save to a module with the name of the change and rename it to be loaded at the proper time.
