Searching for Best Practice - Handle changes on files from a external Repo

Hi,

how can i handle changes of files from a external repo?

In my repo i need files from an external svn repo with only read
access. I have to make changes to them.
Should i add this files as external or as a copy without the reference
to the original repository?

Possible ways:

1. Send the Changes to the owner of the other repo and hope he will
integrate this.

2. Check in a copy of the file in my repository and mark the revision
of the original repo. Make my own changes. Merge the changes of a new
revision in the original repo manually.

3. make a checkout of the original Repo. Don't checkin my changes to
the repo and make backups from the directory.

4. ?

Can i checkout the external as "external" and commit changes into my
repo (thats what i want, i think)?
