Answer 1

Just override the property by making sure that your style is read by the browser after linking to, or importing materialize.css

You would need to copy and change these values:

.container {
  margin: 0 auto;
  max-width: 1280px;
  width: 90%;
}
@media only screen and (min-width: 601px) {
  .container {
    width: 85%;
  }
}
@media only screen and (min-width: 993px) {
  .container {
    width: 70%;
  }
}
