I know you shouldn't edit the core themes as this can cause problems in the future, but is it ok to install a new theme into /sites/all/themes and edit these? Will editing these themes cause problems in the future like editing core themes can?

Cheers

Yes, if you update the theme. It is a better practice to make a copy and rename or if only making css changes I some times will add a new css file to the list in the theme's .info file and use that (some themes out of the box support a local.css file)

You can also make a sub-theme of a contrib theme and that way, your sub-theme stays untouched if you update its basetheme.

You should be aware to change the Cascading Style Sheet file, Dose not change in that field which provide main layout of the theme.
