   You don't edit .mo files directly you edit the .po file and then regenerate the .mo file as the .mo file is a binary format.

   Read the Translating_WordPress article on the codex for more information on editing the translation files.

   On the Codex page westi linked above there is explanation how to generate the .mo file.
   Of course, Notepad doesn't help in this case, sorry. For generating .mo files you need special software, please read the Tools section of the Translation page.
