Yes you can, but as far as I know, new special abilities aren't really possible, you can rename them though...

I'm not a modder so I can't really give you any other tips

EDIT: And this should probably be in the workshop, and the question should be made in the Question topic and FAQ thread...

Well it's pretty complicated, especially the custom looks of the hero.

First check the link Adrius provided, it's very useful

The Hero data files are stored in "data.pak\MapObjects\TownName\HeroName.xdb"

Where TownName is the name of the faction the hero is in (e.g. Dungeon, Haven) and HeroName is the name of the Hero (NOTE: Most Heroes have a different name than the one in the game!)

The .xdb files are plain text files so you can edit them even with Notepad (but you must keep a specific format!)

Also you can't change specialties, only give the hero an existing one.
