The tools that are used in the creation of the English patch are not typically up for distribution. There's simply too many evil things that can be done if they ended up in the wrong hands. There are rare exceptions, like with Kion's Story Patch, but take my advice and don't get your hopes up unless you'll settle for them unpacking files for you and sending them to you (the chances of that are doubt-able at best, depending on what you're asking for).
What kind of mod are you even planning, anyway? I wouldn't expect anyone from the team to pass you the tools, much less give you basic help (aka extracting the needed files for you), without knowing exactly what you plan on doing.
EDIT: tl;dr: Just saying "I want to make a mod" doesn't mean anything by itself. Do yourself a favor and share what it is you want to "mod" with the rest of the class, please. It saves everyone's time and, depending on what you're thinking, may influence your chances (for better or worse).
