Where are the files in Windows Azure

Where do the files for a Windows Azure cloud service reside? I have been looking and looking and I can't seem to find it. I need to make some changes to some of the files and I can't find them. Is there like a cPanel File Manager available?

Every instance in an Azure Cloud Service is a virtual machine. The files are deployed to each instance created during your deployment. Follow the instructions here: Using Remote Desktop with Azure Roles. Then from the Azure Panel select the slot (Production or Staging), select Instances, select the desired instance and at the bottom, click Connect. This will download an RDP file. Open it and remote in to the instance.

The files in your deployment will be located on a virtual drive, typically E: for F: in F:\sitesroot\0

It depends on what you mean by a cloud service.

PaaS = You can only change files by creating a new CSPKG and deploying it. You cannot modify files via RDP.
IaaS = RDP to the VM and do whatever you want to do. You can also use things like WinRM, service extensions, Chef/Puppet, etc
Websites = Update the file in your repository (ie. Github) or upload the file via FTP
