Unfortunatelly, you can’t edit terrain in runtime. Please visit [https://forums.unrealengine.com/showthread.php?10457-Editable-terrain-in-game](https://forums.unrealengine.com/showthread.php?10457-Editable-terrain-in-game). There you can find some information about voxel terrain, which should be suitable for you.
