as long as you only change your local stuff no.
Of course, when you use it to hack into someone;s account by using a exploit in the user/password mechanics, then yes

Messing up the server would be illegal, but changing hp/client sided stuff wont be.

Nothing is illegal unless it involves money, or someone elses account. Cool Everything else is legal unless you crash their server which i doubt will happen.

You can't change the speed of a server with Cheat Engine.

Edit: You can however change the speed of the client. Wink

You can crash their server with a DOS attack.
DOS attack -> go to jail
