Hello,
I am now experimenting with the Drupal's DB to find out ways how to import some data from a non-Drupal DB table (which contains article texts and some attendant parameters — dates, author names, etc.).

I haven't yet found out :) but now the question is this:

I change values of field_data_ fields (field_revision_ as well), titles in node. Nothing happens. On website pages, the content of these fields remains unchanged.

How can it be, what am I doing wrong, and where then the article (node) content is stored in the DB?

P.S. All my modifications I could see in browser were names of taxonomy_term_data and a url aliases.

If you are changing values directly in tables that can lead to problems. If nothing else, it will not update in cached information leading to discrepancies when viewing a node. Does the changed information show when you edit a node? If not, it implies you updated the information incorrectly.

Do yourself a favor and checkout the migrate module-- this is its sole purpose.
