You can't edit the document in portlet. Download it and edit then upload the edited document. that's how the media and document portlet works(upload and download ).

Is it possible to open document in browser side application and then edit and upload edited document?

Like when we open file from drive it open in browser application and we can edit it.

Yes you can do it by creating hook plugin and make the custom document and media portlet.

In the upcoming Liferay 7.2 Google Docs was integrated for editing.

There is also a plugin in the marketplace which adds document editing for office files. I did not test it, but you could give it a try.

Another idea, if you want to implement something yourself, would be to use LibreOffice Online, I tried it once and it should be possible since it supports Webdav as a backend.
