If your changes are general purpose and you think others may benefit from
them, you could submit a patch to me for inclusion into the next release.
Otherwise, you could create your own copy of the module with commands like :

cp -r changepass changepass-custom
cp -r /etc/webmin/changepass /etc/webmin/changepass-custom

And then using Usermin Configuration -> Available Modules page to take
away access to the original module, and grant access to the new one.
When Usermin is upgraded, your copy of the module will not be touched.
