For editing Warcraft skins, just download Magos' Model Editor, Warcraft 3 Viewer, and any image editing program that can handle layers and .tga files. I recommend you download GIMP. It be free and is full of awesome.

The UV mapping and Oinker's MDL stuff is only for making/editing models.

I thought you would need the UV mapping program to put the skin on the model who's skin you edited.

Nope, the model is already unwrapped. You just paint on top of the original skin, then import the custom skin to the model's path.
