ssms
I want to edit some row values once I get a query output in the result grid.
Its true that we can right click the table and say open table to get an editable table output, but what I want is editable query output, only certain rows matching for my criteria, and edit them in the result grid.
Can this possible inside Microsoft SQL server Management Studio Express?
Please check the ServerName which you provided. It should match with the below shown Name in the UserName textbox, and that name should followed with \SQLEXPRESS:
Late answer, but hopefully worthwhile: The Poor Man's T-SQL Formatter is an open-source (free) T-SQL formatter with complete T-SQL batch/script support (any DDL, any DML), SSMS Plugin, command-line bulk formatter, and other options.
It's available for immediate/online use at http://poorsql.com, and just today graduated to "version 1.0" (it was in beta version for a few months), having just acquired support for MERGE statements, OUTPUT clauses, and other finicky stuff.
The SSMS Add-in allows you to set your own hotkey (default is Ctrl-K, Ctrl-F, to match Visual Studio), and formats the entire script or just the code you have selected/highlighted, if any. Output formatting is customizable.
In SSMS 2008 it combines nicely with the built-in intelli-sense, effectively providing more-or-less the same base functionality as Red Gate's SQL Prompt (SQL Prompt does, of course, have extra stuff, like snippets, quick object scripting, etc).
Feedback/feature requests are more than welcome, please give it a whirl if you get the chance!
Disclosure: This is probably obvious already but I wrote this library/tool/site, so this answer is also shameless self-promotion :)

You can do something similar to what you want. Right click on a table and select "edit top 200 rows" (if you are on SQL Server 2008) or "open table" in SQL Server 2005. Once you get there, there is a button on the top that says "SQL"; when you click on it, it lets you write an SQL statement and you can edit the results of it if you click a cell you want to change.
