Not entirely sure what you mean here, but files written to CD-R and
CD-RW are by design read only, as the standard specifies. Therefore it
isn't possible to alter any files once written to CD, just copy them
back to your HDD, make the modifications then write them back to the
CD-RW afterwards. [bit of a PITA if you need to do this on a regular
basis, consider using a USB pen drive]
If you are saying you are copying them back to the HDD from a CD and
then are unable to edit, they may still have the read only bit set.
In that case R/Click your file after copying back to the HDD, choose
properties and remove the read only check mark.
