You can modify the code you've checked out as much as you like; there's no 
requirement to upload your changes to the master repository.  The best thing to 
do is branch the master repository and make your changes there, then you can 
upload your branch to launchpad.  The theory goes that if other developers like 
your changes, these can be merged back into the main branch of development.

As it happens, of course, you and Cara are pretty much the developers so it's 
up to you.  The difficulty would come in making a release (i.e. with all the 
setup files for end-users to use to install the thing) that contains your 
changes.  The build scripts for the releases work on UNIX-like OSes but you 
need to do some extra work on Windows to compile the setup files with Inno 
Setup.

The best way to get bzr running seamlessly and not needing to type in your 
password all the time is to set up an SSH key.  It sounds daunting but it's 
really worth the effort.  There are instructions here:

Hope this helps,
