How would one be able to change an ability such as the technical's flame throwing from having number of charges to having a 5 turn cooldown instead?

Well, you'd have to make a mod with the SDK, since you're changing code behavior, not just changing a config setting.
This is stuff that needs to be compiled. I'd recommend looking up a tutorial(Dizzy XL touches upon this in his video tutorial for making a soldier class mod), I remember that you're going to be modifying X2Ability, you'll have to copy the existing ability and you can crossreference a cooldown ability to find out the difference in the code between them, it's fairly simple, but again, you will have to use the SDK and compile a mod.
Dizzy XL's class mod tutorial:

I think it's about 9-10 minutes in when he copies the stealth(conceal) ability and changes his copy to have 4 charges instead of 1, but if you follow what he's doing and crossreference a cooldown ability it should be easy to make the change.
