I want to modify the original map data, changing hex properties like terrain, river and rail info. However, the official editor does not provide this function.
Does anybody know that how to do this stuff?

There is no way for Modders I know about to edit any of the requested things.

To change hex info, you need to set your keyboard to the ENG-UK mode and press the 'tilde' button (the one above Tab). In the editor, you will access a spcial window that has multiple panels in the top-left corner. Select 'Tile' and you can now change individual hexes.

We can change the looks there but not the underlying data, or?!

Executable editing is usually against EULA. Its also an incredible pain to do, take whatever modding youve done and multiply it by 1000 and you get the difficulty in hex editing beyond a few isolated values.
