So, I know you can edit them via opening them in studio. But is it possible that you can edit a script with another script? Just asking.

Is it possible to edit a script's Source from another script?

No, you can't- sadly. I believe scripts have something like script.source, which is 'sposed to be the script's string, but I also believe it is locked/non-editable. check more out here.
A script's source cannot be read or modified by other scripts. Plugins are an exception to this rule - they have a higher permission level.
The only way is using ModularScripts, but you have to create them. I do not know much about them, you will have to look at the blog.
Pizza C:
I'm pretty sure script.Source is read-only, meaning you can't edit it. But, you could do this.
Make a script that is disabled, and has the following source:
loadstring(script.Src.Value)()
Of course, it has to have a StringValue named "Src" inside it. Then, when you want to use it, do something like this.
local s = Workspace['ScriptName']:Clone() --replace "ScriptName" with the name of the script
s.Src.Value = [[print("Hello world!")]]
s.Disabled = false
