This is what I usually do when I edit RPGM MV saves (XP, VX and VX Ace have a different save system):
  1. download
  2. unzip the archive
  3. open the index(.html) file in your browser (the devs suggest Google Chrome)
  4. click "Choose Files" to load your save (it is in the www\save folder of the game)
  5. edit the file ( )
  6. click "Save"
  7. replace the older save with the edited one
You don't really need Notepad++, the tool I've linked already includes a light text-editor.
But if you prefer to use Notepad++: once you have loaded the save (#4), copy the text and paste it into Notepad++, then edit it, paste it back into the browser and proceed with #6.
If you use Notepad++, the JSON plugin may be helpful.
