How can I make an 'edit' BarButton once clicked allow the user to change the text in a UITableView cell?

I'm creating an app in Swift and am need of assistance. I have created a TableView with a toolbar at the bottom where 3 buttons exist. One button is 'Edit'; i want this button when pressed to force the user to have to click on one of the TableView cells which re-names the cells text.

Just pointing out some ideas, maybe when having to rename the cells text a UIAlertView pops up which can be renamed from there or maybe implementing a UITextField im not really sure..

This picture is the layout. prntscr.com/5vigiu

I kind of understand what's happening here, im like beginner-intermediate at swift programming (only language) so im wanting to ask you a few questions. I have my own tableView that i've created and the only part of that app example I want in mine is the editing. There's a lot of added extras and im not sure what/what not to include in my class. I still want the 'Edit' button when pressed to do something here but if this cant let me know and i'll stick to this link. Could I send you my tableView class and you try and explain in depth how I go about it?? If you could even change my code that would be amazing of you.

Thanks
