OOTB workflow customisation

[#1]

1) What can be the best way : chnaging or customising  the OOTB workflow (I dont think so its good idea )

OR overlay the whole workflow in our project and customised it ?

Please provide any link which can describe how in a project we can overlay the OOTB workflow and customise it according to the requirement

2)suppose in system console i found the bundle related to my java code (workflow and all) everything is inside bundle ....i know i can download gthe bundle and with jd-gui compiler i can see java code but for customisation i have to download the actual java files so from where i can get that ?

so taht i can change the workflow services java code and all and built it and again redeploy taht bundle with my changes .

please sugest ...I am new to workflow ....
