Totally off-topic now, but this is exactly the kind of issue that version control was designed to alleviate. You just make your changes willy-nilly, and then when a new release of the third-party code is made, you check it in and merge your copy into it. No messing with overwritten files, and no lost changes. Most of the time, it doesn't require any manual intervention beyond hitting the 'merge' button.
