To create a table file, for most NES games, you'd want to load up the ROM in FCEUX, and get to a point in the game featuring the type of text you want to change. Then from the Debug menu, open the PPU viewer. This should show you the tiles currently being displayed (although this isn't always the case with every ROM). Hover your mouse over a tile representing a text character and the hex value will be displayed below. So, in Blades of Steel, for example, E6=A, and you'd save that in your table file.
As far as adding characters new characters that don't exist in the ROM, you'd have to use a tile editor and add them yourself, being careful not to overwrite anything important.
