I would like to know if players can access or edit the places a game has created in their inventory. I searched on the Developer Hub and API reference but could not find anything.
I am worried about the fact that if a player can access a place, they can use it to reverse-engineer a script to exploit my game.
no because anyone would be steeling if that game hasn’t granted permission to be copied by other developers.
Not sure what you are asking, could you clarify a bit?, Players can’t edit games you didn’t give them permission to .
There is a developer site post about it here, but it doesn’t explain much

It supposedly creates a place in a player’s Inventory
For storage of the place in somewhere where the game places wont be cluttered.
The player who gets the place put into their inventory will have full access to the place in their inventory. They can open it in studio and do whatever they want with it. They will not have access to your place though as the place in their inventory will only be a copy of your place.
CreatePlaceInPlayerInventoryAsync does exactly what the name states. It creates a copy of the specified place from your game into a player’s inventory granted they consent to the action. This created place becomes their possession. So, with that in mind, yes obviously they can.
Why are you curious about this? What are you trying to do? If you don’t need this (which I can’t see any legitimate use case for this function), simply ignore it. That is provided a backdoor script doesn’t make use of this function, so be mindful of what code is executing on your game.
