You can customize all your shortcuts using Utilities -> Global Options ->
Shortcuts. You can assign whichever shortcut you like to any jEdit action.

Problem 2. If I set marker 0 in a new place, the old place still holds

Then just delete it... The fact you create a new marker with the shortcut of
an existing marker doesn't necessarily mean you want to delete the marker
that previously held the shortcut.

You can very easily create a macro to do that. See the user guide how to
write macros (from the help menu). Let me know if you need help.

In principle jEdit could create a separate action for each marker with a
shortcut. Not sure it's a good idea.
