It is important to quote the person exactly; however, I would only alter a few words. If I were to change a complete word from the quote, then to me it would not be considered a direct quote, because information in it has been changed. Here is an example of something I may alter though:
"dude, whateva he said about da crime, I don't agree wit"
"...whatever he said about the crime, I don't agree with"
Circumstance like this is when I would alter the quote, because they are saying that word just in a different speaking way"
