You can change the crew by simply creating an empty vehicle, then the addons units you wish to use next to it, give them a get in wayoint next to the helo and "this assignAsDriver helo" and "this assignAsGunner helo" in their init fields.

Sadly, you cannot change the weapons mounted on vehicles in OFP by use of scripting, you have to edit the addon itself. Perhaps it will be possible in ArmA with setObjectTexture and a bit of scripting (since ArmA supports multiple gun positions) but not OFP

I worte some scripts a while back to allow you to change the default crew in vehicles, from the mission editor. It keeps skill setting and waypoints e.t.c that you setup in the mission.

Instructions and an example mission included in the zip file.

Edit:

Doh...had to fix the link to the file.
