The way I would do this is:
  • Open the installed font
  • Save As to a backup folder
  • Save as again to a working folder
  • Uninstall the original font
  • Edit the working copy
  • Install it.
Control F11 from FontCreator will open the Windows Fonts folder to check if you have two copies of the edit font there.

BTW. Download version 5.6. It is a significant (and free) upgrade.
