 * I would like to know where to start if i am interested in creating/editing my
   own capability, (as in the wordpress “roles and capabilites”, not a generic functionality).

 * I second the request.
    Capabilities are not well covered.

 * If it is your blog and you are the admin created during the install – you have
   all the capabilities. Why would you want to edit it?
    There was a stupid case
   recently when somebody edited his own capabilities (as admin) just to end up 
   not being able to perform basic tasks… because he played with the capabilities.
 * For the capabilities of other users try the Role Manager plugin. But, please,
   do not second a “not-so-clever” request about editing yourself out from your 
   own admin panel 🙂
 * And what you have here is more than enough:

 * I’m not sure what you are looking for. There used to be a Role Manager plugin,
   not sure if it still works in the latest WP.
