The FamilySearch Family Tree is fully open-edit. Anyone can make corrections.
If you are in the Genealogies section, those trees are not editable.
There are extensive instructions and help articles, but uploading a GEDCOM is not the recommended way to make a correction. Some help articles you may find useful https://www.familysearch.org/en/help/helpcenter/article/how-do-i-change-vital-information-in-family-tree and https://www.familysearch.org/en/help/helpcenter/article/how-do-i-correct-parent-child-relationships-in-family-tree

Assuming you are seeing two individuals of the same identity on Family Tree, just go ahead and merge them. If the duplicate is not being presented under Research Help, you can go to one of the pages for the individual (usually the one that has the most information / sources already attached) and use the ID of the other (person of same identity) to input in the "Possible Duplicate ID" field, which appears when you use the Merge By ID option.

If you are in the Details tab for a person, every piece of information has an "edit" button, which is a pencil icon off to the side. Make sure that you explain your reason for making the change.
As for the rules for adding GEDCOM files, my recommendation is: "Don't." In my experience, GEDCOM is better for screwing things up than fixing them. I'm pretty sure they removed the ability to upload GEDCOM files years ago anyway.

@BraydenGraves Unfortunately, the ability to upload a GEDCOM still exists.
