A couple of choices:

GIMP(http://www.gimp.org/) and a DDS-plugin for it(http://nifelheim.dyndns.org/~cocidius/dds/)

DXTBmp(google, you'll find plenty of links)

edit: And of course Paint.NET(http://www.getpaint.net/)

Those are all free.

I use nVidia's Texture Tools, specifically their .dds Photoshop plugin, which allows you to open & edit .dds files in PS.

You can get them from:

You can set the editor to whatever you want. This tool ROCKS. (thanks to lurker for suggesting this program)
