Sure.
Let's suppose you are using XXE to edit DITA documents. (What I'll
explain below applies to any document type: DocBook, XHTML, etc,
provided this document type has an XXE configuration associated to it.)
All aspects of DITA documents when opened in XXE are parametrized by the
means of a *configuration* *file*.
For example, the configuration file of DITA topics is found in
XXE_install_dir/addon/config/dita/topic.xxe.
What is a configuration file and how to write a custom one from scratch
is explained here:
1. What is a configuration?

Now let's suppose that you want to change the styles of DITA tables.
* Changing the styles of DITA tables on screen is achieved by
customizing the DITA CSS stylesheets.
* Changing the styles of DITA tables when converted to PDF, HTML, RTF,
etc, is achieved by customizing the DITA XSLT stylesheets.
Of course, the XXE configuration file for DITA topics ``points'' to a
number of CSS stylesheets and XSLT stylesheets and hence, specifies to
XXE which styles are to be used.
In a nutshell, you probably need to customize a stock configuration in
order to make it point to customized stylesheets.
How to do this is explained here:
5. Customizing an existing configuration

What precisely you'll have to do is out of the scope of the support we
provide to our customers.

PS: If you just want to customize what's generated by the "Convert
Document" menu items (not sure about that, because your question just
says "in XXE"), there is a way to do so directly from within XXE,
without having to tweak configuration files by hand.
You'll have to use menu item "Options|Customize Configuration|Customize
Document Conversion Stylesheets". See
http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/help/customizeConfigurationMenu.html
See also the "Customize Document Conversion Stylesheets" dialog box

Here again what precisely you'll have to do is out of the scope of the
support we provide to our customers.
