By right-clicking on the table name I select the command "Edit Top 200 Rows". By the way, the number of rows loaded with this command can be changed by the option "Tools > Options > SQL Server Object Explorer > Commands > Value for Edit top <n> Rows command". If 0 is entered, all rows or options are loaded.
In Object Explorer, expand the database that contains the view and then expand Views. Right-click the view and select Edit Top 200 Rows. You may need to modify the SELECT statement in the SQL pane to return the rows to be modified. In the Results pane, locate the row to be changed or deleted.
When you right-click a table in SSMS, you can “Select Top 1000 Rows” and “Edit Top 200 Rows.” You can change how many rows are returned by changing the defaults. Change these values to whatever makes sense in your situation.
If you right click on any result of "Edit Top 200 Rows" query in SSMS you will see the option "Pane -> SQL". It then shows the SQL Query that was run, which you can edit as you wish.
In SMSS 2012 and 2008, you can use Ctrl+3 to quickly get there.
You can also change the pop-up options themselves, to be more convenient for your normal use. Summary:

Similar to David Hall's response, if you are a non-coder, it may be easiest to right-click within results, then choose Pane > Criteria. This allows you to adjust sort, add filters, etc... without adjusting SQL code.
in SQL 2017 You can do it more easily in the toolbar to the right just hit
the SQL button then its gonna apear the query with the top 200 you edit until the quantity that You want and Execute the query and Done! just Edit
