Well I know modding is possible, because there is a fairly comprehensive "economy" mod out there, which I have not tested purely because I'm trying to report bugs on the regular game without taking into account mods. Still that should mean that modding (the numbers at least) is possible and I would be surprised if most other things cannot be changed. The sheer fact that it is a single player game, there is no "balance" reason not to allow moddding too.

Also save files can be edited, so in the meantime if you need a ton of money or something else I understand that is a possibility.

Pretty much anything that is contained in the .dat file (which is, I think, just a simple .rar archive) ought to be alterable. I haven't gone through it in depth, but it looks like it contains sprites, grants, sounds, and "missions" like the deathrow tutorial. In principle, it ought to be possible to change and/or replace any of these files, though the exact extent to which this can be done might prove disappointing at this stage of development.
