You can do that with the function `find-file'. The easiest way to call this function is to do C-x C-f It prompts you for a file name. Just enter ~/.emacs there and then you will be editing that file. Insert the text you wanted, save the file and then you have a file which Emacs calls ~/.emacs For more information see the help inside Emacs (or perhaps http://www.EmacsWiki.org/).
