If you must use sharepoint designer then it is best to make a copy of this file and place it in the style library. Create a custom folder and custom CSS and use it in Site. Register your Custom CSS in master page using CssRegistration, see below:

<SharePoint:CssRegistration name="customfolder/custom.css" runat="server"/>

Note: Alternate CSS on Server but comes before corev4.css

The order in which CSS will load actually:

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/_layouts/1033/styles/customfolder/custom.css"/>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/_layouts/1033/styles/Themable/corev4.css"/>

The after attribute:

<SharePoint:CssRegistration name=”customfolder/custom.css” After=”corev4.css” runat=”server”/>

Note: Alternate CSS on Server and comes after corev4.css.

The order in which CSS will load actually:

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/_layouts/1033/styles/Themable/corev4.css"/>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/_layouts/1033/styles/customfolder/custom.css"/>

Update

Open SharePoint Designer (SPD) and connect to the root level of your site's site collection.

In SPD, open the "Style Library" folder.

Create a new CSS file and name it (e.g. "customstyles.css").

Open your master page file in SPD.

In the <head> tag add a link to your custom CSS just above the content place holder named "PlaceHolderAdditonalPageHead" as follows:

<link href="/Style%20Library/customstyles.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
