  You can't.....
  
  You need to create a new one.
  You can copy it from the original, and modify yours.

  As the others mention, you cannot do this as there isn't an easy way to modify a report. In theory, if you were creating a new report, you could add integration events that you could override to substitute data or you could provide alternate layouts in your report configuration. For base reports, however, I do not know of any that do either of these things.
  
  Go into the "Microsoft_Base Application_<version>.app" file in your .alpackages folder of your project, find the report object that you wish to change, and copy that to a new file with a new object number and name (I usually just append "Custom" to the name).
  
  If this is a report that has a report selections entry, you can simply change that selection to run the new report number. Otherwise you will need to have a codeunit that overrides ReportManagement OnAfterSubstituteReport or find all the page references to that report and modify the page actions:
  
  [EventSubscriber(ObjectType::Codeunit, Codeunit::ReportManagement, 'OnAfterSubstituteReport', '', false, false)]
  local procedure OnAfterSubstituteReport(ReportId: Integer; var NewReportID: Integer)
  begin
  if ReportId = Report::"Detail Trial Balance" then
  NewReportID := REPORT::"Custom Detail Trial Balance";
  end;
