Is this what you're looking for?

* Every 1 second
- Toggle Flag 0 (in an active)

* Flag 0= ON
* Only one action when event loops
- Change alterable string to Edit text box

* Flag 0= OFF
* Only one action when event loops
- Change alterable string to Edit text box+"_"


Remove the "only one action when event loops" condition if you want. This will make the text update quicker, but there's no restriction on the conditions. It'll constantly trigger all the time, which might not be best. Test it out.

Make the stopped animation of your cursor a loop between the cursor image and a blank frame. Then set the animation speed to whatever speed you want the cursor to blink.

If you need the cursor to be part of the text, then the previous suggestion is a way to do that. But it is very cpu heavy to keep updating a text string over and over every frame. I would make the cursor an active object and just place it at the end of the text.

Can that be done when the text is in a windows object, like rich text object?
