Hey I need help changing a character's sprite. I wanna try to change Quote's sprite and some other people but I don't know how to do that. Do I need a hacking tool to change someone's sprite?

You change sprites by editing the *.pbm sprites within the data folder and its subfolders. The *.pbm files are secretly just *.bmp files in disguise, so you can just open them with Paint and edit them as you please. However, saving a file in Paint removes the "©Pixel" (without quotes) at the end, which will make the game crash if it tries to read the file. You'll need to add the ©Pixel back to the end of the file with a Hex Editor, or if you're using CaveEdit, you can remove the ©Pixel requirement. Does that answer your question?

Umm... I don't quite get what you mean, could you give a more specific example? It might be because almost all of the Cave Story images have 4-bit color depth, so there are only 16 different colors available to you. To change the colors, you'd have to edit the bitmap with a hex editor. Is that what you're talking about?
