Fusion
You will need to zip up and attach your STL file so the forum users can troubleshoot if for you. STL files are very hard way to work in Fusion 360, you would be better off working with them in Meshmixer. If you do not know how to attach your model, open it in Fusion360, select the File menu and then choose Export and save the .F3D file to your hard drive. Then use the Attachments section of a reply forum post to attach it.

STL is a mesh format. While you can use Fusion to edit a mesh, it is not an ideal mesh editor. So, to edit the mesh, you'll have to go into the Mesh environment, and use the tools there. However, you will likely not have much luck in your task of changing the text. In the mesh environment, you can probably select the text and delete it, but there are no tools for adding new text to the mesh. You might have better luck in Meshmixer, but even there, it will be a challenge, I suspect.

This would make an excelent example to use as reference to learn how to model natively in Fusion 360.
The first step is to import into file with correct document units. (You better check on this.)

Start a new file.
Verify that your Document Settings units are mm.
Go to Insert Mesh.
Verify that your Insert Mesh units are mm.
Attach the new *.f3d file here for next step.

Once the basic geometry is laid out - you can begin making parametric features.
