the engine now seems to support load/save to csv/json  
this is available on 5.1 at least but not sure if it’s on previous too.

also  
You can save your data table from cpp.  
call  
FDataTableEditorUtils::BroadcastPreChange(DataTable, FDataTableEditorUtils::EDataTableChangeInfo::RowList);

you can get the rows using DataTable-\>GetAllRows and you get some pointers.  
you can modify them.  
or you can add rows using DataTable-\>AddRow

at the end you need to call DataTable-\>Modify()  
then  
UEditorLoadingAndSavingUtils::SavePackages({DataTable-\>GetPackage()}, false);  
then  
FDataTableEditorUtils::BroadcastPostChange(DataTable, FDataTableEditorUtils::EDataTableChangeInfo::RowList);

credits goes to “Authaer” who told me this after some time of searching
