When you open google chrome devtools, and go to Sources and look at the files under Page, how can you modify them and observe changes?
To be more specific, I want to modify some files inside top/webpack:// when you open Sources, on some websites, to experiment and see how things inside actually work.
But after any changes (Such as inserting a simple console.log("hello"); inside a .js file), I get "Changes to this file were not saved to file system".
CLARIFICATION: The only solution to "Changes to this file were not saved to file system" warning I've found was discussed on stackoverflow, but It did not resolve my issue since I can not (don't know how?) to add things from top/ to workspace.

What makes you think you should be able to save your changes to someone else's website? – DavidPostill – 2019-07-10T15:47:37.707

4@DavidPostill Of course the changes won't be saved to the actual site, but to the instance of the site that was served to me? For example, I can easily modify and make changes in the Elements section and they are visible on the site (for me of course, until, for example, the site is refreshed).
Like I can edit the HTML on the ("instance of") site and observe changes, how can I do it with sources as well (For example, modify some javascript that is read from those sources)? – Joe – 2019-07-10T16:58:00.533
@Joe AFAIK you can't do that with JS served from elsewhere. – DavidPostill – 2019-07-10T16:59:32.383
