Well, this issue depends on national law. We would now have to differentiate what countries we are talking about, etc.
Here is a general snippet about copyright law: "A copyright encompasses the _exclusive_ right to: reproduce the work; prepare "derivative works"; distribute copies of the work; perform the work publicly; and display the work publicly."

BUT if you distribute those modified versions without permission, distribute them as "made-by-me", then it definitely wouldn't likely be legal...
You do not have to claim "mady-by-me" at all. Simple distribution is already illegal.
