Assuming you are using the Grid Tool Goodie and creating the grid via the "Grid System", the entire grid is a Group of Grid Elements, so Suspend Groups and you can move the individual elements.

Have not used it much, but if I'm not mistaken....once inserted....the actual lines are 2d (this should be easy to move around and/or edit). And the actual Grid numbering is a parametric object which should also be easy to edit.
One other possibility that might deny you the ability to edit your grid lines in some ways is the fact that once you insert the structural grid...it is by default, grouped together. Simply suspend groups under the tools tab to temporarily make them act as ungrouped elements.
Hope this helps.

You have two tools for the grid: the Structural grid and the Grid system tool. The latter is great while and if it works (auto display in S/E for example, many options for most of the situations).
The latter is best edited after placing by selecting it with the grouping on and changing the parameters.
The former can be treated as any 2D set of lines and objects - usually, clever marquee stretching will do the trick. And redefining is not so horrible, come on
