Hi. I have finished an article. But I find some places need to be correct. So, what should I say? I am modifying the article, I am correcting the article, I am correcting the article, or I am recomposeing the article? Or some other ways, like mend/convert?
modify an article or rewrite an article?

Modify/ing and correct/ing are fine; the other words are not. "Edit/editing" is probably the word I would use.
"Correcting the article" sounds good to me, or "revising the article".
"Rewriting the article" might suggest that you're starting completely afresh rather than making some changes to an existing document.

Thanks a lot, Miss julie. I will keep in my mind.
What you said is really helpful. Thank you very much.
It all depends upon what you are doing.
Are you fixing spelling, grammar, etc. .... or are you fixing errors in the information presented?
Are you changing large portions, or just the occasional gaffe.
In other words, we need more context lest we leap to assumptions.

Maybe large portions, for example some paragraphs. Maybe just some sentences or some spelling mistakes, etc. Like a student check his or her article after completing it to make it perfect.
This would be proofreading to me.
