Abstract
We describe constructing solutions of the field equations of Chern-Simons a nd topological BF theories in terms of deformation theory of locally consta nt (flat) bundles. Maps of at connections into one another (dressing transf ormations) are considered. A method of calculating (nonlocal) dressing symm etries in Chern-Simons and topological BF theories is formulated.
