First, you get a speaker cable/headphone extension cable.

Stick one end in your ear. Yeah, your ear. up your nose works well too, and the other head in the nes headphone jack.

CONGRATURATIONS YOU ARE NOW CONNECTED TO THE NES AND CAN EDIT GAMES WITH YOUR BRAIN.

Well for one, it might help if you did a bit of research on your own. Asking how to hack NES roms is a very ambiguous question and cannot be answered in one post. No one can "show" you how to do it. Go to Google and do a few searches (such as, "Mega Man ROM Hacking"). When you've done some research, come back with some specific questions.

http://www.romhacking.com/docs/gendocs.php

Read alot of the documents there, they are mostly for beginners.
Read the entire website, click all the links, read the message board threads (all of them if you have to), you get the general idea. Just like here, start clicking, looking, read everything posted and linked to.

There are more sites to look through here :
http://gavin.panicus.org/consortium_links.php

It's a giant list being compiled by Gavin, listing many many rom-hacking sites.
Most of the tutorials will ask you to use a hex editor, so find one that you like and keep it handy. Almost all of them are free (there's a few that aren't, but don't worry about them).

That's how I got started, just find a place, click it's links, and click the following links, and read everything along the way.

After a few days, you'll start to get the gist of things.

And ignore the responses that aren't helpfull. Not everyone is helpfull. (not everyone is rude either, but today, there seems to be a non-helpful-useless-person influx in effect )

I took one look at his post and knew immediatly he was a beginner.
How can you be specific if you have absolutely no idea what you're talking about?
I mean honestly.

true, but maybe, he could have asked for a specific game, that would have saved that whole messy beginning, well anyway welcome to the world of rom hacking

edit: no, most utilities are free, there are very few that cost money. and then again, some require hex editing, but there are many good freeware hex editors.

No, no money is required to hack any rom. None. All tools and editors are freeware.
It's a great hobby. You can do something simple like make Mario bald-headed, or change the way a game works, by changing the programming or assembly of the game. Some hacking is harder than others. Graphics edits are the easiest to do, so many start there. Graphics editors for the rom hacking world are called Tile Editors. There are many, so try them all, read their documentation, and keep and use the ones you like.

You can edit the text in games also, that's fairly easy as well, but still takes some studying up on and learning and experimentation, but it all does really.
All games are different, no two games have their data, graphics or otherwise, in the same spot, so you won't find any universal game editors. The hardest thing to do in rom-hacking is music changing, so there are few if any music editors or tools available, and the amount of people asking for a music editor or swapper might make a few people here snap at you (as a reflex action, I'm sure).

http://dan.panicus.org/wip.php?id=rockandroll

Following the links I gave you led me here. It's a work in progress Megaman editor made by Dan. Bookmark his site if it interests you, there is much more there than just that.

There are more documents and stuff available elsewhere, but this is an example of how usefull link pages are.
