StarCraft char map? Are you referring to a map in the campaign? That can be found in the DLDB.

As for changing the "characters", do you mean stat-wise or graphically? You have to be a bit more descriptive in what you say. For graphics, you'll need to use RetroGRP, some sort of graphics editing program (paint works fine), WinMPQ and MPQDraft. Look at the pinned topic "How to make a starcraft mod" for more information.

Characters as in making the letter "C" look like a car.

Oh. You could probably change the font somehow... I couldn't tell you where to find it though.

The font files Starcraft uses are encoded or something. There is a few places you can find the normal ones, but their not the ones Starcraft use.

Edit:
If you are wondering what and where the files are, its not hard to find a folder called "Font" and files with the extention ".fnt"; its pretty obvious.

The ones in the MPQ are encrypted, but you can retrieve unencrypted versions from the CD. I don't think there are any programs to edit them, but you can get the file specs from SI's site (here) and either manually hex edit them or write a program yourself. When you replace it, it will try to decrypt them but upon failing will just use them unencrypted.
