You can do a lot with the Table manager (you can find and install this plugin via the plugin manager: menu --> plugins --> manage and install plugins).
If that is not enough, you can of course always open the dbf file. I would recommend using LibreOffice/OpenOffice instead of excel as in my experience at least Excel can sometimes mess up the dbf file.
