Can I adjust the kernel config-file? [SOLVED]

so i kicked out linux-3 kernel and installed the "aufs_friendly kernel" with the aufs2 package all went well...after the reboot i got an error "acer_wmid" failure .

my question can i rebuild the kernel WHITOUT the "acer_wmi" part from the config-file within the kernel-source ????

#
# Altera FPGA firmware download module
#
CONFIG_ALTERA_STAPL=m
CONFIG_X86_PLATFORM_DEVICES=y
CONFIG_ACER_WMI=m      <<====  compiled as module and i want to get rid off... 
CONFIG_ACERHDF=m
CONFIG_ASUS_LAPTOP=m
CONFIG_DELL_LAPTOP=m
CONFIG_DELL_WMI=m
CONFIG_DELL_WMI_AIO=m

because in the heather of the file

#
# Automatically generated make config: don't edit   <<==== THIS ??!!
# Linux/x86_64 2.6.39 Kernel Configuration
# Mon Jun  6 22:07:19 2011

Uncomment the "make menuconfig" line in the PKGBUILD or run that command when creating your kernel config.  This will bring up the console config utility.  Navigate to Device Drivers --> all the way down to X86 Platform Specific..  Toggle Acer WMI Laptop Extras using the spacebar.

*You can also edit the config file directly and change the 'm' to a 'n'  This will work but the reason it's not recommended is because some options are dependent on other kernel options.

gonna try ...i'd blacklisted the module for now.

tried that one .....no success

[EDIT:] Uncomment the "make menuconfig" line in the PKGBUILD = worked for me

The config file in the kernel source is a .config <--starts with a dot and the command only works when run in a kernel source tree.
