Hello I have received an email with a PDF attachment, I want to print out but I need to alter some spelling mistakes first is there an easy way to do this.
Thanks

Not terribly easily. There are a number of PDF-to-text converters but they depend on the PDF being properly generated, which it may not be.

Can you select the text in the PDF and copy it into an editable document?

Reportedly, you can

Try using Libre office, you can edit PDFs and save them.

I have no idea whether this is true.

It depends how the PDF document was created.

If it was created by say MS Office, Libre Office - you may be able to open them in MS Office or Libre Office to edit them. (But you may lose formatting etc.)

If the PDF was created by scanning a document - it doesn't really contain text, it contains a picture of text. So you would need to use an OCR (optical character reader) application to convert it to text. (More complex, more error prone, and you will definitely lose most of the formatting.)
