If you just mean like team color, there's a set unit color action. Anything more advanced than that would probably be done by using the send actor message action. I won't be able to help you much with that one.
Well same basic model just like different colors or effects on the unit, which would probably be texture. What I was thinking was to do whatever I need to do in the spawn trigger.
You can change the texture of an actor using actor events/action (set texture by declaration). It can be quite complicated to do as you have to actually look at the information on the model itself. I suggest you look for a tutorial on how to do that.
Once you have the texture prepared to go on the unit, you can make it happen via trigger by sending the unit's main actor a message to declare the texture.
There are many different examples like the marine, zergling, dt, etc; its usually just a model swap in the actor event depending on an upgrade, buff or similar. You can send actor messages via triggers.
Does anyone know how to change unit skins by triggers? I have not looked into it much but if anyone could let me know, that would be great.

No more like how if you get to a certain level with a race on bnet you can change your skins. That type of thing.

You need to define what you mean by skin better. Do you mean a change in texture or a different model?
If you want the change to apply not just to existing units but also any new units as they are created you'll need to use upgrades.

Is there any way to just change the color of certain unit? And where is the texture of a modle located in the data editor?
Follow this, use trigger actor messages.
I think set tint color will due fine for my purposes thanks guys.
