Is it possible to write a function that will take a model and change it just a little, like move it 10 spaces to the right, and create a new model output file with the edited model? Will the animations be changed, also?

"change a model"?
I'm sorry, I don't quite know what you mean. Are you talking about actually going into the mesh and changing the file? That'll be hard, if even possible. I think a dll would have to do that. But moving the model 10 quants to the right won't be a problem:
my.x += 10; or my.y += 10;
would do the job. creating a new model is no problem either. (ent_create(...);)
but I think what you mean is actually changing the model in game? Don't think gamestudio kann do that, at least not c script

To deform a model/tarrain at runtime use vec_to_mesh.
Exporting the new formed model is not possible with c-script but with a plugin (dll) writing a new model (see here mdl filestructures)

If the new model can't be saved, can it at least be saved in a .txt document or some sort of variable, so that the next time the game is run it opens the edited copy?
