How do I get money from my mother's account if I am the beneficiary?

Estate Planning lawyer at Bullivant Houser Bailey PC
Get a copy of her death certificate to the company with the account and fill out their paperwork. This assumes you are a named pay on death beneficiary. If not, you will have to do a probate, small estate affidavit, or company specific affidavit depending on the value of all her assets.

You can make an amendment or "Codicil" to a Will in the same manner that you executed the will. You will need to have at least 2 witnesses to the Codicil. You could also execute a new Will to make the change.

Can you use items in an estate without permission that do not belong to you?

Estate Planning lawyer at Jayne L. Sebby
It would depend upon the item(s), its value, and how you plan to use it. Can you use a pen belonging from the decedent to sign some estate documents? Yes. Can you you use the car? No. Responsibility for the closing of the estate has been given to you but the assets do not belong to you. You are also legally responsible for maintaining the assets in good condition and could be liable to the heirs for any damage you do.
