Those are kind of special files. Copy the file to somewhare, edit it and then use cat to overwrite /sys/accessibility/speakup/characters i.e. cat /etc/my_changes > /sys/accessibility/speakup/characters /sys/accessibility/speakup/characters is not a real file. you will have to do the cat every time you want the changes effected. What I mean that changes to most of the /sys/accessibility/speakup files are not permanent and get set to its default on a reboot.
