This holds true for transactional replication one-way, the other types i'm unsure.

1) You will not be able to make changes to a published table as it will tell you it is published for replication and can't be modified. How easy it is to change the table depends on which version of SQL Server you are using. SQL6.5 & SQL2K - you can drop the table you wish to change from replication - modify it - and replicate it again. SQL7 - trickier as the ability to remove one table only does not exist. You'll have to stop replication - make your changes and replicate everything.

2) The replication procedure itself places the tables at the destination, you need do nothing but create at the source and replicate it.
