They have to be valid GUID/UUIDs per RFC 4122. So you can't hand edit them. 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universally_unique_identifier

VC++ has guidgen.txt
Linux has uuidgen
There are web pages. https://www.uuidgenerator.net

I wrote a small Python script to generate the  8-4-4-4-12 and EFI_GUID C 
structure format at the same time.
