You could do something like
git branch <branchname> origin/master
to create a branch based on upstream master.

If you want to push one commit, cherry-pick that (git help cherry-pick), 
otherwise just make the change and commit that.  To push, you want to do
git push origin <branchname>:master
(<branchname>:master tells git to push the local branch <branchname> to the 
remote branch 'master' - without this, git will simply look for local branches 
with the same name as remote branches, and end up trying to push local master 
to remote master).
