If you were to edit a story...?

What would you need to do?
Do you just make sure that there aren't any spelling mistakes, capital letters are used and fullstops and other punctuations are used?

Or do you actually edit THE WHOLE thing, like if a sentence were:

"Then I went inside the house I vow that I will get back at who killed my parents."

Would I be able to change it to:

"As I stepped through the empty house, I felt a wave of anger rush through me and I knew in that precise moment that it was my job to get revenge, so that my parents, the pair that raised me and never gave up on me, can rest peacefully."

Or will that no longer be the original author's work?
