No, you can't edit or save text files from within the game, unless (as was noted above) you're working through the in-game Web browser. You *can*, of course, edit text files, such as those displayed within the Info Center, with another program outside the game while you're playing, but if you do so, any changes you make won't show up in the game until you've exited and reloaded, anyway, so you might as well just wait and make the changes when you're not playing.
