I don't undertand what you mean by "modify paths" and seeing no one reply to your question maybe it's a good idea to try to explain a little better what you're trying to achieve.
Here http://www.inkscape.org/doc/advanced/tutorial-advanced.html you can read about working with paths.
Hi, what I wanted to use was...

... something like the perspective effect, but for arbitrary polygons. Experimenting with the feature, it looks like it won't be enough for what i really wanted to achieve, though.. I think I'll have to look into texture mapping.
If you are a programmer looking to achieve arbitrary path distortions in inkscape, here are a few links that may interest you.
lib2geom is a computation geometry framework being developed for use in Inkscape. There are a few example programs in the SVN tree that show how lib2geom can be used to distort paths.

Live path effects is a new feature in Inkscape being developed for Google's Summer of Code. The goal is to allow live alterations of a path in Inkscape proper with out losing the original input paths and while keeping them editable.
