Talk about being vague. :-)
Em... by web master I am going to assume you mean web developer. Web master is a term used to describe someone "in charge" of a website. (well in my books anyway).
It depends on a number of things such as:
Do you have a good knowledge of ASP and SQL (if databases are used)?
Do you have full access to the web hosting and databases (if there are any)?
Is the website well structured? (As in images in the image directory etc...)
How modularised is the website? (For example: is it object orientated?)
There are more than likely other relevant data but that should get you started. If the answer to questions 1-3 are yes, then I would say you have a pretty good shot at it. It also depends on what you wish to edit. If you are looking to edit the stylesheet, a simple knowledge of CSS would suffice. If you are planning on restructuring the database, ASP and SQL is a must. :-)
Oh and if all you wish to edit is the content and there is a good CMS is place, you can scrap everything I just said and sorry for wasting your time. :-D
