               Hi,
                I want to change the non-bonded parameters to modify the
               interaction between water molecules and protein molecules.
                I am using CHARMM forcefield with Tip3p water.
                The ffnonbonded.itp file of the forcefield has non-bonded
               parameters for tip3p water. Can I achieve the above by
        changing
               these parameters?
           That depends on your definition of "modify," but yes, in a
        way, you
           can make changes here.
          1) Modify - Multiply sigma and epsilon by a constant

               If yes, will this also change the non-bonded parameters for
               water - water interaction?

        2) Is there a way to add a new ifdef perhaps such that a
        modified sigma and epsilon can be used for water-protein
        interactions and the unmodified parameters can be used for
        water-water interactions?

    Nonbonded interactions are calculated during the simulation by
    applying the combination rules defined by the force field.  There is
    no simple way to do this with an ifdef, since that is just in the
    topology.  You can't conditionally apply nonbonded parameters.  That
    just sounds like a recipe for breaking a force field.

In that case, changing sigma and epsilon of tip3p water molecules in the ffnonbonded.itp files will change both water-protein and water-water Vdw interactions. Also if I multiply q for tip3p water molecules in the same file, I can modify the water-water and water-coulomb interactions.

Any change you might make to the TIP3P parameters (LJ parameters or charges) will inherently change the intermolecular interactions between whatever species are in your system.
