Learn about the NextStep defaults system.
in Terminal :

man defaults ; # general information
defaults read ; # lists current user's preferences for all kinds of things
defaults write . . . ; # allows changes


Consider having complete edited copies of the file and just replace whole files with a cp or rename. You may well need administrator privilege or some kind of sudo for anything though.
