EA Games made a bunch of files that are called, INI files. These files can be viewed in Notepad. They hold all the variables for the game & they can very easily changed. But you'll need to extract them from the BIG files in the game directory first. Download FinalBIG from here to do so: http://cncden.com/cncgen_utility_downloads.shtml (It's about the 15th download on that web page.) Open up the INIZH.big file.

Lets say you wanted to cut the build cost for Colonel Burton in half for the vanilla USA faction. Select the file on the list in the INIZH.big file that is in the "Data\INI\Object" folder called, AmericaInfantry.ini. Extract it to the corresponding folders in the game directory as you see in FinalBIG. (Since this file in the "Data\INI\Object" folders, you need to extract the file to those same folder in the game directory. Create any missing folders that you may not see so that you can extract the file in the same location as you see in the BIG file.) The extracted file will override the original files in the BIG file so you can go get the original whenever.

So go ahead & extract the AmericaInfantry.ini file to its correct folders & open it. Since the code for Colonel Burton is at the top, you don't need to find it using the Find program (ctrl+F). Scroll down until you get to
; ***DESIGN parameters ***
Looking down after that, you'll see BuildCost = 1500. Just change the 1500 to 750 & save the file. That's it! in the game Colonel Burton will be 50% off.

If you've made some changes & when you open up Zero Hour & it crashes, go to your "Command and Conquer Generals Zero Hour Data" folder & open up the "ReleaseCrashInfo" file. It should say there where you're problem is. If not, go over everything you've modified & try to find the problem.
