The latests versions of cumulus (beta) have built in editors for changing those values, it's also explained in the help section of the programm

The following should fix: use the dayfile.txt editor to correct the entry for that day, as best you can. Then use the month, year and all-time editors to correct the highs and lows. Assuming dayfile.txt is now OK, you should be able to get the editors to find the correct entries from dayfile.txt by clicking on the 'fetch dayfile data' button, and then clicking the appropriate 'copy' buttons to use the found values.
