It's one of those asteroids with a letter and then a number, ain't it? Only I can't remember the letter, and I can't remember the number...  M-36 maybe? Okay, I'll shut up now...

Eryk,
You're totally on the right track. Two letters and two numbers to be exact. And M is correct, and is the first letter...
M _ _ _
Keep trying!

Is looking up the Help File considered cheating?

I don't consider it cheating. Where do you think I got the question from?

Okay, so I looked it up in the issue itself.
M-17W: A manufacturing center located in the galactic core, noted primarily for the quality of fusion powerspheres it exports...

Who was the first Legion character whose costume was modified by Dave Cockrum, and what was that modification?

Complete guess - Duo Damsel going from all purple with orange cape (both merged & seperate) to half-purple, half-orange with yellow cape (merged), with one split wearing purple with a yellow cape, and the other orange with a yellow cape.

You're thinking of Superboy #193, "War between the Days and Nights!", in which Dave introduces new costumes for Chameleon Boy, Shrinking Violet, Karate Kid, and Duo Damsel (the last of which was actually a fan-designed outfit). But there's one costume he modified prior to that.

PS I absolutely LOVED how Cockrum designed on Shrinking Violet, Karate Kid, Phantom Girl, and Cosmic Boy. *hee hee*

Here's a hint: The modification in question is not a complete redesign of a costume. Dave takes an existing outfit and makes some slight, but significant changes to this outfit over previous depictions.

Crap! Didn't see your other clues and guesses. Garth's change came after the trio in #193, #197 I think. So he couldn't be the right answer.

Nope, not Cosmic Boy.
Everyone is on the wrong track. Read the question more carefully.

If I remember my archives correctly, the first story Dave drew was the story about ME Lad's brother, and the three legionnaires in that story were ME Lad, Ultra Boy and Saturn Girl....
So my guess is that the first alteration was to change the color of Ultra Boy's chest-symbol from green to brown.

That change, is, I believe, a coloring error, and not a genuine change in costume.

Sounds to me like the question isn't about a Legionnaire -- I have no idea who it might be though. I'll go out on a limb and say he gave The Persuader a new helmet.
