1. How do you make a program edit another program?
2. How do you display a number sprite?
EDIT: I forgot I already posted about #1.

I'll try to answer these as succinctly as I can.
1) in pure basic, you can't, in asm, you just do, in hybrid, see some documentation.
2) If you mean just displaying a number (which I guess is technically a sprite, then the output(), Disp, Pause and Text() commands can do it, if you don't know how to use those, there is a tibasicdev page about each of these commands which are linked to here.
If you mean a sprite that you have created that represents a number, then there are many ways, here are the best ones for ti-basic on the ti-83/84 series:

You know how a number sprite is shown in the editor for a program with a DCSE icon? I want to know if you can normally display those in your program.

I'm not quite sure what you mean by this, do you mean the 256 hexadecimal characters on the 2nd line of every DoorsCSE programs that has an icon?
If so, there is a celtic commands that can display a sprite stored as hex in your code, but it displays it in full res, so using it in half-res will be tricky (every pixel on the actual sprite will actually be 2 pixels horizontally, which means you will have to squish the actual sprite so that it displays unsquished in half-res)
The command is BufSprite and it is used as follows:
det(9,width,X,Y), Str9=sprite data
You only need to specify the width, because it can figure out the height with the width and the number of characters in the string.
In some code I've made, I needed to display a radioactivity symbol and since it was the only sprite I had to display in the entire program, I decided it was not worth having an entire spritesheet dedicated to it (since that would occupy an entire 8kb, and require a 2nd file to be paired with the program), so I used bufsprite and squished it so that it would work in half-res. Here is how I did it, it's very simple.
Code: "33FFF3333E6AAF3336AAAAF3FAAAAA63FAAAA3A3633AA33EA33AF33F6336F33F6FF36FFFAAAF6AAF666F666FF6633663F6633663366336F33F666F3333FFF333->Str9
det(9,8,270,10
Here is what it looks like when you actually convert the sprite data into colors to make an image:
As you can see, its a radioactivity symbol, but squished. However, since the calc is in half-res mode, the symbol appears to be circular, as intended.
Hope this answers your question
