If the new row you need to add will be composed by some search result you can use something like:

| inputlookup my_lookup.csv
| YOUR SEARCH HERE
| outputlookup my_lookup.csv append=true

There is also an app on Splunk Base that allows you to edit lookup files: https://splunkbase.splunk.com/app/1724/

Usually lookup files are stored on $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/system/lookups/ or $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/<app_name>/lookups/. From there you can also copy the files or edit them.

One other way you can use to download your lookup files is to use | inputlookup and then go to Export > CSV.
