The game (DX, x64) has a shop [local of course] with items and some items are locked. When player trying to buy normal item - it says some string like - "item purchased". When player trying to buy locked item - it say something like "Item locked". So. I found this strings, and instructions that builds that strings [to show], but, I can't find required comparison [to buy locked] to change. Is it any technique to find or solve this situations?

You said you found the code that builds the strings.
Trace it one more step back and find out where the decision is made as to which string to build (locked or purchased).
That'll be a cmp or a switch construct of some sort, and when you check what's going on there, you'll know what to change in order to unlock items.
If being unlocked is just a simple flag, it's easy.
If it means being on a list, it's a bit more tricky because you have find the list, find out what to add and finally, add it to the list yourself, any of which, depending on the list implementation, can get challenging.

Maybe the string is only built upon rendering, so see what happens before the calls are even made (and what parameters are passed to each call).
