    As it is a standard library can i change it?

    You can just open the referenced File (“C:\Python32\lib\foundation\FormParameters.py”) and edit it – in this case I would suggest replacing tabs with spaces, as tabs and python are an evil combination.

    As some others commented, this is NOT a part of the standard library – but even if it were, the same rules would apply – find the file and you’re free to edit it (you probably shouldn’t though if you intend to run your programs on other machines with an unmodified standard library). For C extensions this pörocess is somewhat more complicated as you would need to compile them.
