How can I modify SMBIOS information?

The SMBIOS-System Management BIOS specification defines data structures (and access methods) that can be used to read information stored in the BIOS of a computer.
By parsing this table it is possible to access information about the system and its capabilities.
AptioV DmiEdit is a tool that allows to read the SMBIOS tables and edit their content. In particular, the System Information table, containing data like the manufacturer of the system, the product name and the version can be extracted.
