For both of your ideas you'd have to modify the .mpq archives.
It COULD be done via the Editor, but ranked maps mustn't be modified by anybody. If they are then they'll be redownloaded and overwritten.
I know that you can change files in the mpq archives without the game "noticing". I changed the skin of the Fusion Core during beta.
Yeah but this is release. For all you know they could have changed it, unless you've changed the models since release? I believe WC3 was like this too. that's why people could end up playing maps with entirely different textures then what was originally intended. DotA always looked good on the hell tileset imo.
