File 1: To change the urls to use a - instead of a + in the urls, you need to edit the lib/general.php file. Search for the GetUrl() function. To change it for categories, edit the line

$url .= $GLOBALS['AKB_CLASS_HELPER']->GetCompleteCategoryPath((int) $id);

and change it to

$url .= str_replace('+', '-', $GLOBALS['AKB_CLASS_HELPER']->GetCompleteCategoryPath((int) $id));

To change it for questions, edit the line

$url .= $id.'/';

and change it to

$url .= str_replace('+', '-', $id).'/';

To change it for searching, edit the line

$url .= urlencode($id);

and change it to

$url .= str_replace('+', '-', urlencode($id));

File 2: Now in the includes/classes/class.helper.php file find the function _MakeURLSafe($val) and just before the return $val; line add the line

$val = str_replace('+', '-', $val);

Also in the _MakeURLNormal($val) function just below it, just after the { at the start of the function add the line

$val = str_replace('-', '+', $val);

so the two functions become

        /**
        * _MakeURLSafe
        * Make a string safe for being a url
        *
        * @param string $val The string to make safe
        *
        * @return string The safe string
        */
        function _MakeURLSafe($val)
        {
            $val = str_replace('/', '{47}', $val);
            $val = urlencode($val);
            $val = str_replace('+', '-', $val);
            return $val;
        }

        /**
        * _MakeURLNormal
        * Make a url which was made safe with _MakeURLSafe normal again
        *
        * @param string The sanitized string
        *
        * @return string The original string
        */
        function _MakeURLNormal($val)
        {
            $val = str_replace('-', '+', $val);
            $val = urldecode($val);
            $val = str_replace('{47}', '/', $val);
            return $val;
        }
