Changes like that are usually better done via a custom functions file in the theme itself, so long as there is a hook for it of course.
I seer this sort of thing a lot when people are suing the default twentyten, twentyeleven, twentytwelve themes. They'll edit those themes directly and then upgrade and lose all their edits. Many do not realize they should take advantage of the child theme functionality in wordpress when editing default themes.
For those interested in how to do it, see this Wordpress codex page:
