Hi Brandon, >From my cursory look within various screens, it doesn't appear as though there is a file editing feature within Dropbox.
I will add that you can install AccessNote for free then go into Settings and configure it to show your Dropbox files. You can now use AccessNote to edit your text files saved on your Dropbox account. AccessNote is made by AFB, so it is very blind friendly--especially if you will be using a Bluetooth keyboard.
