The following gets returned from a function that I am calling.
(120, 400)
While I can use the Tuple as is in my program, I would like the ability to
change one or even both of the numbers depending on other events that
happen. So here is my question, is there a way to either 1) save each part
of the Tuple into a seperate variable or 2) edit just one part of the Tuple
without knowing or affecting the other number. Thanks for the help!

To extract the individual elements, you can use [0] and [1]
However, you cannot change an element, since a tuple is immutable. You
have to build a new tuple. Or you can use a list, which is not immutable.
a = (3, 5)
print a[0] # you get 3
b = a[0], 42
print b # you get (3, 42)
c,d = a # c gets 3 and d gets 5
