[ I posted this on comp.emacs over a week ago, but got no response(s) ]
[ ... please forgive it you've already seen it! -khj ]
It appears that the only aspect of 'asm-mode' that is easy to
configure is the "comment character".
How might I change the default comment and indentation rules?
Is my only option to modify or override what's in the "asm-mode.el"?
Thanks for your ideas!

only the comment character is easy to "customize". the other handful of
variables can be set directly (w/ `setq'), which is relatively easy to do
in your ~/.emacs or a file loaded from there.

it all depends on what kinds of changes you want to make.
perhaps you can post a fragment of the assembly code, a description of
the current (mis)behavior when editing this code, and a description of
the desired behavior. it will be easier for people to understand (and
perhaps answer) your questions w/ this detailed information. otherwise,
the only immediate answer is "everything is possible depending on how
much effort or funding you put into it", and you probably already knew
that.

Well, when I typed in some 7090 assembler, I wrote my own font-locking
and setting tabs and comment character:
;; ...
(defun asm7090-font-lock ()
(interactive)
(setq font-lock-defaults nil
font-lock-keywords nil)
(font-lock-add-keywords
nil
(list
(list
(function search-asm7090-fields) ; parses an asm line.
'(1 font-lock-function-name-face) ; labels
'(2 font-lock-keyword-face) ; operation codes
'(3 font-lock-reference-face) ; arguments
'(4 font-lock-comment-face) ; comments
'(5 font-lock-preprocessor-face) ; ibsys
'(6 font-lock-type-face) ; cols 72-80
))))
(defun asm7090 ()
(interactive)
(asm7090-font-lock)
(make-local-variable 'tab-stop-list)
(setf tab-stop-list '(0 7 15 34 72)
asm-comment-char ?*)
(local-set-key (kbd "TAB") (function tab-to-tab-stop))
(local-set-key (kbd "RET") (lambda ()
(interactive)
(asm7090-describe-codop)
(newline-and-indent)))
(font-lock-mode 1)
(message "asm7090 activated"))

Sorry, but our NNTP server has been down for a few days and I didn't
see the helpful replies to my original article until just now (using
groups.google.com). I'll try and write again RSN.
