The meanings of the properties are documented in
  man nm-settings

On recent NM versions there is also
  man nm-settings-keyfile

(which has some further details when you edit the config-file directly).



You ~can~ edit the files by hand, followed by
  nmcli connection reload
or
  nmcli connection load /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/gsm1


alternatively, you can use nmcli. See also `man nmcli` 
and `man nmcli-examples`.
