You can use brackets in a quotation when the quotation doesn't quite match up with the sentence you've put it in, there are words missing from the original quote that are required for it to make grammatical sense, or if you would prefer to use a pronoun in place of a name and vice versa, or when you wish to clarify a pronoun by including the noun it originally referred to.
Example:
I appreciate it [the honor], but I must refuse.
