Simple, you create a character model and place it in a storage thats replicated on cilent and server. Then upon a function, the player.Character value gets set to the new character model, thats placed in workspace.
TIP: put the humanoid into the new model AFTER the plasyer's character has ben set to it, or the .Died event might trigger and glitch.
EXAMPLE: (this might not work as intended, obviously needs to be changed according to your game so it works.)
local function setPlayerCharacter(player,model)
local clonedModel = game.ReplicatedStorage.CharacterModel:Clone() -- clone new char model
local oldHumanoid = clonedModel:waitForChild("Humanoid") -- wait for humanoid
oldHumanoid.Parent = game.ReplicatedStorage -- temporaraly set humanoid to a placeholder
clonedModel.Parent = workspace -- put character in workspace
clonedModel.Name = player.Name -- name the model accordingly
player.Character = clonedModel -- set player's character
oldHumanoid.Parent = clonedModel -- put in new humanoid
end

Accept my fried request. I think that's the only to allow you to edit. And also don't really expect much from the game. I made everything on my own.
