I want to edit a pdb file by removing the unrequited hetroatoms and chains and again save it in pdb format. Can anyone suggest some user friendly tools to do this?

You can easily done it manually, by removing the htatm and undesired chains from the text file of .pdb ...

if you have linux
cat 3K7Z.pdb |grep -v HETATM > 3K7Z_2.pdb
where 3K7Z is the file and HETATM is the sentence you would like to like to search in the line do decide if needs to be removed.
> tells where to save the file
to check for more options
man grep
you can also use regex what will give you a lot more of ways to decide what line to remove or not.
