First, you should not be modifying theme files – as your changes will be lost when the theme is updated – instead use Custom CSS or a child theme – http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes
So I’d suggest you change how you are making those changes.
But then I’m also not even sure what you mean by:
when I use console to add smth, all my style turns to default. How can I deal with it?
Can you give an example and a link to it?

Thank you for the answer. I don’t know how link can help you, but here it is. Now it’s okey.
I meant, we have 2 variants to edit style, frome its file (style.css), and using console. But after I make some changes in code via console(doesnt matter .css files or .php)and then click to save, all my settings – style, templates – turns to their primal look as in default montezuma theme.
For example, I’ve added some text in footer.php from console, and my style became as default. Then I have to change file style.css to its copy.

Well, child theme didn’t help.. Created folder “montezuma-child”, added style.css with this code

/* =Imports styles from the parent theme

@import url('../themes/montezuma/style.css');
/* =Theme customization starts here

Then added all the code from style.css (btw, there is few style.css and I use the one, which located in wp-content/uploads/montezuma). Everything is okey, until I made some change in administration panel.

This line will not work.
Theme Name: Montezuma
It can’t be the same name as the parent. Try this line instead.
Theme Name: Montezuma Child Theme
Activate that one and see what happens.

Also next time please consider using the correct dedicated sub-forum.
http://wordpress.org/support/theme/montezuma
Just putting [Montezuma] in the subject line (deleted) doesn’t do anything. By using the correct sub-forum you increase the chances of your problem being seen by the right people.

Doesn’t help. I’m frustrated. But thank you!
Actually, it’s not so bad, I just should always have copy of this damned style.css 🙂
