I was able to successfully extract textures from a game file I am trying to modify. Textures are DXT1 in DDS format. How could I modify a texture and replace the original with the new one?

Easiest way would be to start documenting the texture header. You'll want to at least know where the header stores information like resolution x, resolution y, dxt format (dxt 1, dxt 5, ati2 etc.) and how many mipmaps the texture should have.
You could write a tool that'll read the header and replace it with the proper dds header and vice versa.
if you match the original texture resolution you can try to replace the dds header with the header from the original file.
without samples it's hard to help more than that.
