I wish to do that, but it fails: I defined 

a new file format "LyX (edit source)"

a new converter  LyX -> LyX (edit source) calling my text editor: xjed $$i

Now, File>Export LyX (edit source) opens up the text editor, but with a
temp-file in the lyx_tempdir and after saving the edited result and
closing, LyX says that there was an error converting my file.

It looks like I have to wait for 1.6.2 and the vc-something lfun.

in the upcoming 1.6.2 you can (mis)use vc-command lfun, eg
vc-command RD $$p "yourscript $$i"

AFAIK, no. 


You will have to modify the source file by external means and then
File>Revert (ignoring the warnings).

  
Actually, if you combine my suggestion with yours, there is a way to do 
this: Define a new format (lyx2, say) and a converter for it that does 
whatever you want to do, eventually over-writing the LyX file on disk 
(if you really do wish to do that!). Then File>Revert.

I'm not sure exactly what you want to do, but (a) you can of course do 
this outside LyX and (b) you can create some kind of export format and 
associated converter that will do with the file as you wish. Look at 
Tools>Preferences>File Formats and T>P>Converters, and the associated 
documentation.
