It really depends on the changes and why the addon breaks.
Use BugSack and take a look at the line something dies on, look for API changes (usually it'll show up on the forums here) and you can fix problems easily like that with fairly little knowledge (like parameter order changes, name changes, etc). Also looking at similar addons and the comments / notes on the big 3 (wowinterface, wowace, curse), even the bug-tickets sometimes contain correcting code.
Beyond that, you have to have at least a basic knowledge of programming concepts to be able to affect a repair.
