It is generally a bad idea to change anything in a LaTeX document class
file. Many class files have even a license that forbids this. The reason
is that the author(s) want to make sure the class works as documented.
The common method is to save a copy under a different name and configure
it.
If you are speaking about the \documentclass{siggraph},
The siggraph Document Class Users’ Guide
(found at www.cs.brown.edu/system/software/latex/doc/siggraph.pdf)
describes an alternative way:
4.4 Configuration file
Individual users or sites may wish to modify the behavior of this class
(for instance, to use a particular set of fonts.) Rather than having
people hack the .cls file, which can lead to various incompatible
versions at different sites, the class provides for a configuration
file. After the class has finished loading, it will check to see if a
siggraph.cfg file exists in the TEX search path. If so, it will be input.
Any user---or site---specific modifications should be placed
in this file. (See the copyright notice in the siggraph.dtx source file
for information on distribution of configuration files.)
