Wrote this up earlier today, but IBM apparently didn't want it, so I'll post it here.
Have fun.

What You Need:
Xport/Xsata
Xplorer360/Xport360
Fallout 3 Editor - Download
Rehasher/Resigner
1. Open Partition 3 in your hard drive, then Content > Your Profile > Fallout 3 > 0001000 > Your Save File
2. Extract your save to the desired directory, and make a backup incase you screw up.
3. Open FOedit, and wait for the program's files to load, then enter "load", and enter the directory of the file you extracted.
4. First, enter "listinv". This will list your entire inventory, including quest items and such.
Inventory Modding:
1. To change the amount of an item you have, such as, say, Winterized T-51b Power Armor, find it on the inventory list. Remember the number of that item on the list. Now, enter "setinvqty (The number the item is located on on the list) (the quantity of that item you want)". For example, if the T-51b is in slot number 54, and I wanted 9 instead of 1, I'd enter "setinvqty 54 9".
2. If you want to swap out an item with another item, enter "setinvfid (The number the item is located on on the list) (The 8-number ID of the item you want the first item swapped for)". For example, if I wanted to swap T-51b with another item, I'd enter "setinvfid 54 00000000" (With the 0's being the ID of the desired item).
3. Do not create thousands upon thousands of heavy items such as Miniguns, Missile launchers, etc., since the game will be in a permanent state of lag.
Experience Modding:
1. Simply enter "setexp" and change your experience value to whatever you want. If you haven't loaded Broken Steel on your save yet, it will only max out at 20 until you load it.
Other Stuff:
1. Enter "help", and more commands will show up. With this, you can also edit your stats.
Finishing:
1. Enter "save", wait a few seconds, then close the program, rehash, resign, and you're done.
2. Drop the edited file back into the Fallout 3 save folder, and have fun with your mod.
I would recommend getting the Mysterious Stranger's .44 Magnum, since it does OVER 9000 damage, literally.
Visit the Fallout 3 Wiki and search for the item you want, and the information box on the right of the page will show its ID.

Have fun.
