The short answer is, you cannot download and modify a copyrighted video game without being discovered. Copyright law protects the creators of works from someone else using or modifying their work without their consent. The only exception to this rule would be if your modification qualifies as “fair use” or has special permission from the copyright holder.

It is generally not advisable to modify or copy a video game without the permission of the copyright owner, as it may be considered a violation of copyright laws. However, there are ways to do it legally. For example, one can search online for "video game mods" and look for ones made by other users. By searching for Creative Common-licensed assets and using modding programs, one can make changes to the game without violating any laws. Other options include contacting developers directly and asking if it's possible to create custom levels or characters, or petitioning for certain features within the fan community. Ultimately you have to weigh up how much you want that particular modification versus following the law.
