I would like to know how to change a course from Read-Only to Read Write.

The root course is always set to read-only, but can be manually changed to 
editable. Better to create a new course off root.

Now the best solution is to deploy and use the Dashboard UI to create edit 
courses.  The example course will always be Read-only but you can make a copy 
and edit that or start with a fresh course and use URL mapping to move this new 
course to the root (/) URL.
