I can think of a few. A Dawn of War 40k total conversion mod, some texture mods for the Viper, being able to play as the aliens and recruit aliens.

They all sound pretty good. The great thing is with the creation kit they will probably be able to create the play as the aliens mod. Which let's be honest would be awesome.

Long war

If its not included in the base game, a mod to have aliens in your squad would be cool

I have to see what they offer when the game released.
And after finishing it. I think might mod something wierd like collect them all.

build something wierd like start with just 2 recruits. and then from there on slowly upgrade.
Or something like syndicate but TBS instead of fighting aliens :P

You fight the megacorporations and there henchmen and lackey.
I don´t know yet. have to see how good the tools are and how good the game is.
But basically it sounds like a dream come true.

Star Wars Battlefront mod?

Or better yet. A freakin' Dragon Ball mod.

There are a few simple things I'd like to see. Maybe someone looking to practice modding with give these a shot!

1. A mod that gives the XCOM flag to all soldiers, instead of national flags.

2. A costume system that allows me to set helmet type, armor colors, etc., so I can either (a) select COSTUME SCHEME 1 for a given soldier, or (b) assign a different costume scheme to each soldier class, so they automatically come with that scheme.

3. More troops and enemies in a mission, as Lordtj has asked for.

If you can get aliens in the squad I want them modded out.

Aliens Colonial Marines mod, with maps on lv-426.

Mods which may give us whoel new campaings, or mods who use the resources the geame gives you to create whole new games, like with warcraft3 or starcraft.
So many possibilities :) From an horde mode, to coop missions or capture the flag multiplayer ^^.

So, yeah these are my dreams and ideas, now is the question, what knowledge is necesarry to mod ? I am highly motivated to learn and work, but have no knowledge :(

That depends on what you'd mod. There's texture, mesh, animations, scripts and a few other things.

Well I know my stuff when it comes to 3d and animations (although it is some time since I last worked on anything) but I have only little knowledge when it comes to coding, and I dont know, how much or what will be needed to create nice content.

Oh a Horde mode would be amazing. Just fighting off hundreds of sectoids and advent for as long as possible. That would be epic. Xcom's last stand.

The more knowledge you have about that particular area you're tinkering, or modding at, the better quality your content will be. You can go with jack-of-all-trades or become specialized. If you've ever wanted to work in the gaming industry and makes games with the big guys, specializing is the way to go.
