Of course you can use the images straight from the camera and edit them. That's what your post processing program does. You just cannot change the RAW file, you have to save the result as JPG, TIFF or something else.
Some editors keep the original RAW file and a separate sidecar file with your edits to be applied whenever you reopen the image.
You have just said what I said, you edit them before use if raw.
