To legally publish a modified version of a popular novel, you will need to obtain the copyright holder's permission. You can contact the copyright holder through the publisher or a literary agent to request permission. You will likely need to demonstrate that your work is significantly different from the original and/or that it adds something new to the story. Once permission is obtained, you can make minor modifications and publish it as your own work.

You cannot legally publish a novel that is substantially similar to a popular novel without permission from the copyright holder. This includes making minor modifications. Copyright law protects works from being copied or modified without permission, regardless of how small the changes are. To publish your own work, you would need to come up with an original idea and write a novel that is not based on another work.
