Most of what you are after can be done using base OOo functionality without the need for a macro, etc... Have a look at the following document which goes through the process of how to create a bibliography. You can insert references into the body of the doc, then have the refences produce a biblio at the end of the document based on what has been inserted.

If however when inserting the biblio you modify it so that it is not 'protected against manual changes', you should be able to modify the particular fields by hand.
