Can I change a config value in firefox with an addon?
How is it possible to program an Addon that changes a certain config value in Firefox, that usually is only accessible via about:config?
Is there a template I could use? Or Do I have to start from scratch?

Please see the Preferences documentation and API reference, in particular Adding preferences to an extension and Code Snippets.
Just to be clear: The nsIPreference* APIs can be used to query/modify any preference, not just add-on specific ones.
SDK users should use simple-prefs (for add-on prefs), and/or preferences/service.
