Not a lawyer.  My personal interpretation of the licence is that it's
best to modify the code first, then - keeping the licence declaration
at the top of the page - put below it clearly that you changed the
file. For some reason they explicitly mention "modified versions"
having the ability to have other licences in the sentence below.

"You may add Your own copyright statement to Your modifications and
may provide additional or different license terms and conditions for
use, reproduction, or distribution of Your modifications, or for any
such Derivative Works as a whole, provided Your use, reproduction, and
distribution of the Work otherwise complies with the conditions stated
in this License."

"The Apache License does not require modified versions of the software
to be distributed using the same license nor even that it be
distributed as free/open-source software."
