Are there any official guidelines or rules for editing (others')
questions?
There's the Help Center, which is searchable, but specifically:
When should I edit posts?
Any time you feel you can make the post better, and are inclined to do
so. Editing is encouraged!
Some common reasons to edit are:
to fix grammatical or spelling mistakes
to clarify the meaning of a post without changing it
to correct minor mistakes or add addendums / updates as the post ages
to add related resources or hyperlinks
Try to make the post substantively better when you edit, not just
change a single character. Tiny, trivial edits are discouraged.
Though you should check the specific sites, there may be differences.

As you've not been terribly specific:
Should users edit other users' posts to correct grammar and spelling problems?
What should I do when a user repeatedly rejects or roll-backs valid edits to his/her post(s)?
Was it correct to roll this edit back?

Is it OK to edit a correct answer for fullness instead of answering?
