If I am understanding the correctly, all of the information in the BTC programming is needed in order for the block chain to properly work right. So I am guessing in order for you to do that, you would have to rewrite the complete block chain from the start so it all lines up. Am I on the right track with my thinking?
No, "rewriting" the blockchain will not enable you to forge a signature. You either have to break ECDSA (or the specific curve used for bitcoin) or get the private key in question. Also not every single line of code within bitcoin core is needed for the protocoll to work. A large portion is the wallet part that is not required.
