Can it not be done through the cpanel im kinda in a place where i cant install software on my local machine (STUPID WORKPLACE ) lol

You can't view any .htaccess files through your web browser, unless you disable:
<FilesMatch "^\.ht">
Order allow,deny
Deny from all
</FilesMatch>

in apache's httpd.conf.

The .htaccess file is just that, a "file", and can be opened in any file editing/viewing software

Is there a way i can change my apache settings on the hosting account ???

Make a new .htaccess on your PC and upload it via FTP command prompt. Its included in any windows.. You just have to learn non-gui ftp commands

You can open .htaccess files with the "Edit" command in the cPanel file manager.

There is an option to see hidden files in the file manager located in cPanel. If you do a search of the forums I know it's been explained a few times.
