If you're comfortable with Python and coding, you can use a text editor and the pickle module to edit a save file:
Here's an example Python code snippet to get you started: renpy edit save file link
import pickle
# Load the save file
with open('your_save_file.save', 'rb') as f:
save_data = pickle.load(f)
# Edit the save data
save_data['your_variable'] = 'new_value'
