Sadly both of your options can't really be done on console, or if they can I don't know how.
If i bought the game on pc I still wouldnt try messing with save files or modding.
One reason i have always loved consoles is that I don't have to mess with files, everything is simple and streamlined. While i do play my fair share of pc games i do everything i can to stick to the idea that i can come home, sit down and play. If i have to leave a game to go mess with save files or drag mods into my game folders I simply won't do it.
I base my opinion of games on the base game only, if the base game lacks something i put up with it or I stop playing it if the problem is bad enough, no hobby of mine should stress me out.

@GrimReaperTaken Well, there is a simplicity to using consoles, but it does limit things in certain cases.
For example, just yesterday I ran into a bug starting a quest (not in ME, different game) I had to talk to a certain person to start the quest, but that opportunity had already passed. So, I was stuck with either skipping that quest entirely or lose 20 levels and 17 hours of gameplay backtracking. So, I ended up using cheats and mods to bypass the requirements and was able to start the quest and continue from there. I wouldn't have been able to do that on console.
Cheats and mods definitely have their place, and not just for "cheating".
It's one reason I don't play console very often.
