I load the page...and 7 smilies greet me...
Anyway, the program you want is TBLPad. It's fairly self explanatory, once you open up the file stat_txt.tbl. This is found in the Patch_rt.mpq file, under the path rez\stat_txt.tbl. Extract the file with locale ID 0(this is the english version). Then, open with TBLPad. The left window shows the strings, the right one edits the selected one. Any questions, just ask.

Eh? GRP files contain graphics, TBLs contain strings.

And the race names are in rez\network.tbl, unless I'm much mistaken.

You'll need to extract them from patch_rt.mpq using WinMPQ. The files you want are the ones with Locale ID 0.

When you open the StarDat.mpq file with WinMPQ, either drag-and-drop rez\stat_txt.tbl to a folder, or select it and click Extract.
The interface is similar to WinZip's, if you've used that you should be right at home.

StarDat.mpq is in your StarCraft folder.
You need to add stat_txt.tbl to your MPQ under the path rez\stat_txt.tbl. (When you press Add, select your stat_txt.tbl and use rez\ as the prefix).

If you put the modified tbl file in StarDat.mpq or BrooDat.mpq, it won't work.
You either have to put it in patch_rt.mpq or make your own and use MPQdraft.
And please don't use internet slangs. They make it harder to understand.

OK, so now you have a modified stat_txt.tbl somewhere that you want StarCraft to load. Just do this:
In WinMPQ, click File -> New and create a new MPQ archive somewhere. Click Mpq -> Add and open your modified stat_txt.tbl. When you open it, it will ask you what path you want to add it under. Just enter "rez\" (no quotes) and click OK
Now you have made your own MPQ with your changes, all we have to do is to get StarCraft to read it. Download MPQDraft if you havn't got it already. Open MPQDraft and click Load MPQ Patch. Select StarCraft in both the top and bottom windows and click Next. Now, click Browse for MPQs and open the MPQ you previously created that contains your modified stat_txt.tbl. Make sure there's a checkbox next to it. Click Next and then Finish.
If you followed these steps correctly it should work.
Good luck.

I shall henceforth set this down as Lord Agamemnon's Third Law of Modding:
TEST ANY CHANGE BEFORE APPLYING IT TO MULTIPLE UNITS! UNLESS YOU REEEEEEEEEALY KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING!
This way, if it IS messed up, you won't have wasted time doing it all over the place.
