Edit config.txt after assembly using HDMI Screen

Hey guys,

after months (parts missing, then defective PCB) I finally could finish my Raspiboy. In my Excitement I didn't realise that there is no access to the SD Card after assembly :(

As putting the unit together is a rather frustrating task II really do not want to open it again if I can somehow avoid doing that. I forgot to edit the config.txt before assembly. My question is: Can I manually edit the config.txt using an external Monitor via HDMI. As I am an absolute noob in Linux can somebody provide a step by step tutorial how to do this, please!

Thanks!
