The source code of FreeCAD is located on the Github account of the FreeCAD project. Anybody can download, use and modify the code. You can publish your modifications (on Github or any other Git hosting service). If you made interesting modifications that you wish to see included in the FreeCAD source code, you must ask the community to have them included. This can be done using Github's pull requests mechanism, but the very best way is to discuss what you intend to do first on the forum, and then post an official request in the Pull requests section of the forum when your code is ready. This avoids you working on something that someone else is already working on too, and ensures that others agree with the way you are doing it, so that there is no risk of having your work refused for some reason you didn't foresee.
