Hi.
I just installed October CMS, and I have so many questions. But one of them is, I want to modify some things in backend, and so I think the files are in modules/cms and modules/backend. So, my question is, can I modify this files directly? Or is there a better practice for these case? Perhaps a way overwriting functionality without touch the original files?
Thanks.
You should use Plugins and Themes wherever possible!
Any changes to system files can be lost with an update.

Ok. So, if I create a custom Plugin, is there some way to override one (or more) files in modules/cms or modules/backend?
What exactly are you trying to change?
Overwriting css is easy. For other features there are many hooks you can use to modify the behaviour.
Completely overwriting files in modules/backend
is (while possible) not encouraged since every future update will revert your changes. You would have to completely freeze your installation.

Exactly, I want to change backend design, some colors, remove some buttons and add some new custom options, and hide others. For example, I want that users can modify Pages but not add new one.
That sounds like you want to assign permissions for an user. Please check this option first.
