Generally speaking PDF is not an 'editable' file format. The usual 
approach is to edit the source used to generate the PDF and then 
regenerate the PDF. That said there are some Java toolkits around which 
can manipulate PDFs, iText and PDFBox for example. If these are 
suitable depends on what you need to do.

Also, FOP is NOT an editor of any sorts. It is a processor which takes 
as input a document in XSL-FO format and produces as output a document 
formatted according to the instructions in the XSL-FO input. The 
document output type can be PDF (probably the most popular) or a 
variety of other types supported by FOP.
