You can create it; once it's there, X will (on most systems) find it
during startup.
Settings there will not take effect immediately. You will first have
to "merge" the new values into the settings database with the command
xrdb -merge ~/.Xdefaults
Then the changes should be reflected in any NEW shell you open. If
you're not satisfied, go back and change and merge again.
Note, however, that if you want to remove the new value completely,
you can't just delete it from the .Xdefaults file, since the xrdb
command just reads what is there, not what is not. There are ways to
remove settings - see man xrdb. The easiest way is to restart X.
