Saving and Editing HTML Code from a Website

As a favor to a friend, I was asked to make some minor changes to a fairly simple website created by someone else. The site is being hosted by Network Solutions.

I have zero experience with creating or modifying websites. How can I get access to the HTML code so that I can modify it? Is it just a matter of navigating to the website, doing a File, Save As from inside the browser and saving the file to my hard drive?

Also, I need a suggestion for an easy-to-use open source (or freeware) HTML editor.

Try with CK editor for easy HTML change on the web pages, http://ckeditor.com/demo

Thanks for the suggestions. I will try some of them out this evening and post an update tomorrow.

I ended up downloading SeaMonkey since it seems pretty basic, and I'm primarily looking for an easy-to-use editor.

I downloaded the contents of the website by doing File, Save As for each of the pages of the site. Will try some basic edits tomorrow.
