Once you found and understood the critical sections it would be very easy. For instance there is a "network" id that for Bitcoin is 0, simply changing that to something else would do the trick.
I think even changing the hash function would be somewhat simple as a crypto library is likely used - just call another function.
This is why I think there are so many worthless alts, they call a different hash function in a library someone else made and call it a miracle.

Don't we already have enough clones? 
coingen created coins have no future batter you contact a developer personally
if you don't know about how to create then batter you leave this or contact with some dev who can create for you

go to http://coingen.io/ and you can specify your parameters.
I'm just trying to get an idea about the coding effort, e.g. for a skilled c++ programmer how long would it take him to code a bitcoin clone with minor parameter changes. What about changing a hash function?
