My question is,

If yes, Can you please provide me some details/guidance how to do it.

Well... If you want to edit by clicking the "Edit Layout" action, you need Word installed on the client machine. You can also just click "Export Layout" and then edit the file using the web-version of Word. However, it is only the full PC version of Word that has the Developer tab and XML pane, so you will only be able to do light changes in the web version. Also, you need Word 2013 to work with the XML pane.
