HI Liz Liz_F, no you can't edit the response directly, but what you can do - and we do this a lot in my company - is to use Flow to save the response to a SharePoint list which, as well as having the columns for the answers in the response, can have a lot of other columns as well which you can then edit and save. A simple example is below (and assumes responses will be coming from outside the organisation, hence the request for the email address. Otherwise you could grab the responder's details directly via an Office 365 Users action in Flow).
Hope that helps. Come back with any questions about this.
