problem editing big file in vi

I have a big file, which vi opens it with message not sufficient space with file system.
I am not adding any data in the file but changing some values within.

To make these changes effective, it asks for forced write (w!), even after doing this,
I see this particular record, change is not effected.

What do I need to do in order to effect the changes with this big file?

With my system elvis & vim is not installed.
