As dbw said, basically you should make a copy of default setting file to your User folder and edit it to override default one. And on ST3 most default setting files are packaged, use PackageResourceView will make your work easier.

For example edit default ST3 python buid setting on Windows:

• ctrl+alt+p, type "prv" and select "open" to call PackageResourceView's open.
• select "python" > "Python.sublime-build"
• notice default file path is "...\Sublime Text 3\Packages\Python\Python.sublime-build", so create a user copy to Users "\AppData\Roaming\Sublime Text 3\Packages\Python\Python.sublime-build" and edit it.
