how can I change kart characteristics? I mean either in game or by changing the source code and recompiling it.

If you can recompile from source, you can change kart characteristics in data/kart_characteristics.xml.
There's a lot of comments in the file on how it works.

You can edit the parameters in the XML files without recompiling
Those data files can be changed, I believe it just reads the values when the game is launched.

no, I mean how to change characteristics for each kart because they all have different speed, mass etc

You can change the kart class (light/medium/heavy) in the kart.xml in each kart's directory.
The "kart_charcteristics.xml" can be used to change the default values of acceleration, max speed, etc... or even to create a new kart class.
