read the stickies thread.
any modeling program like 3dsmax, maya, milkshape, Gmax (and more) will let you edit any model, as long as you have the right plugins.

it comes included. read tutorials threads on this board, the milkshape forum or just search on google

edit:

although if ur gonna do that, i would advise that you learn to model from scratch, it would be better like that

You need to decompile the Halflife model (which is a tool) then you open the smd file into milkshape and edit.

also give credits to the individual model creator(s) when you edit their models before showing it.

go to the joints tab. "upper right corner of the screen." look under that menu it should have a "show skeleton" option in there. un-check it and u should be straight.

can you see the model along with the skeleton? or just the skeleton itself? because you might be importing the wrong .smd file.

-to see its skin-
right click in perspective view, and click texture. (the view that lets you move the model in any direction. it also has a blue background to help you locate it better.) that might help you as well.
