Do you mean a model in the UI (like the model of the player in your character sheet), or a model in the world?

1st one:

2nd one:
You can't, and any model edits are against the TOS.

basically, I want to specify a specific skin of a model
Model:SetModel("Creature/Murloc/babymurloc.m2");

Just for displaying purposes, not modifying.

You can't change the skin of a model.

If you want a specific skin on a specific model you'll need to find its display ID and use model:SetDisplayInfo() (or less ideally model:SetCreature() if you can't figure out its display ID) for it.
