Yes, it seems like this is not something you’d need to change the source code for. On the tor browser connection screen, instead of clicking “connect” click “configure”. From here you can preconfigure the settings of a local proxy server as well as exclusively what ports you want the tor browser to configure and listen on.
As for the tor browser vs tor source code, the tor browser is a modified version of Firefox which is preconfigured to use the tor network, which was created from the source code.
As for configuring how many relays you want to use in your tor connection, I am not sure of a way to configure exactly how many relays you want to connect through, however, you could try adding this to your torrc file
ExcludeSingleHopRelays 1
Adding this should force your tor connection to go through at least three relays no matter what, as opposed to less than that.

maybe you don't need to change the source code to get tor to do what you want because the control port can be used to tell tor how to build circuits, number of hops etc. you can learn about this in the control port specification, in the specifications git repo.
also, instead of copying files around as Georg suggests you can change the tor browser settings to use whatever socks and control port.

a touch of anonymity. but, if i want to change a few things in Tor i can change in .torrc file like the ExitNode, EntryNodeetc.. as i have here in Tor's manual:
https://www.torproject.org/docs/tor-manual.html.en

from
the source code for example the numbers of Nodes-hop make 1 one or 8
hop's:

Yes, just copy it over the tor which we ship in tor-browser_$YOUR-LOCALE/Browser/TorBrowser/Tor
