How to edit savegame files

The weather in SHIII has always been a problem. SH3Weather will modify it at the startup of a patrol, but it doesn't appear to have any effect during the patrol; as a result, one often has several weeks of undesirable weather and high winds.
Since the weather changes appear to be hard coded, it seems to me the only answer would be to save the game, and edit the save game file to change the weather. Since the weather is saved, this should be possible SH3Gen reads this file. Does anyone know what program is used for read the file? And is it possible to write to the save game file?
