is it possible to change units skins and/or the color of the skins through hex-editing?

if you download the Bcompiler and the Bviewer you could extract all the skins from bf2 (in DDS file) and edit them and later add the new skins back to the game via hex editing...

Bcompiler and Bviewer don't seem to work in SWBF2.
My answer would be just to wait for mod tools.

Do not forget LVL Extractor, too... This program is probably faster than BViewer and is able to extract more munged files than Nimlot's tool... (Moreover, its source files are included with it...)

It works? :'( It doesn't work for me.

LVL Extractor works properly with SWBF II *.LVL files, since both this game and its prequel use the same files' structure... However, you can launch a search with terms like "LVL Extractor" in my posts, in order to find steps on how to extract textures through this program...
