First off, I have the love for you, too.
Ok, so I'd recommended getting something like sublime text editor.
You need some text editor, this is recommended by a Lua Coder (not on the forums)
http://www.sublimetext.com/
You're going to want Mari0's source code.
Go to the main page and download it at the bottom of the Mari0 page.
Rename the .love to .zip
Unzip it.
Open up the lua's with your code editor.
Tada!
You can now code.
You may want to learn a little lua if you don't know any.
Here are some references:
https://www.love2d.org/wiki/Main_Page
http://www.lua.org/manual/5.1/
http://lua-users.org/
http://Google.com (my personal favorite)
Start by modifying variables in variables.lua (who thought that would be the place to modify variables?), and then you can start to learn more.
Anything you particularly want to mod?
Let me know. I can give you more tips.
Ah, and then there is compiling.
Compress all your files into a zip.
Not the folder they are in, but the actual files inside it. If you zip the folder, it won't work.
Rename it to .love from a .zip.
You can open it then!
Alternatively, you can just open the folder with love2d, without turning the contents into a .love, but that is mainly for your purposes. It isn't a good way to distribute.
