I don't know the proper forum for this question, or the proper person to contact off-forum, so here's hoping someone can point me in the right direction.
I would like to use a minor NPC in a published Pathfinder Society scenario as a character in PFSOP. The Community Use policy seems to support use of Pathfinder NPC's in the Community Use "Approved List" for our own creative purposes. The problem I see, is that I'd like to change certain things (the class, alignment, ability scores, etc. in order to make legal for play) of said NPC, which seems to be verboten.
I'd like clarification on this and, if possible, clear permission to use the NPC in this manner. If it matters, the NPC in question is Gilga Baltwin from First Steps, Part 1.

I can't see how this is any different from new players keeping Kyra#4327 as their real character and changing (or not) the name as they go. I've seen much worse rip-of.... err... homages to published characters from other universes. Have at it!
I can't wait to see this at the table! We have at least 2 other local players who were abused by one of her orphans. A half-orc barbarian and an human inquisitor of Gorum are both very twitchy every time they have a mission in Absolom after being Demoralized by the Ten-year-old Terror of Absolom, the Princess of Disparagement, Suzie the Intimidator!!!!

You want to play Gilga Baltwin as your PC?This. Sorry I didn't make that more clear in the original post. I think she'd make an awesome Sczarni faction Hedge Witch.
Only if she's in a party with a red headed halfling rogue and an aasimar paladin who's known as Father Werguild. :-)

There's nothing in the rules explicitly forbidding making a PC named Gilga Baltwin and making her whatever you want her to be. You might consider using a different name, however, and just basing your character's concept on the established NPC to avoid confusion at the table with other players who find it hard to suspend disbelief (the same way a PC might find it hard to play with a PC named Drandle Dreng or Eliza Petulengro).
