You mean you cannot change it at all?

You should be able to change it with ordinary editing commands (it's just
text, albeit with text properties). Or you could do S-<up or S-<down> on
individual fields to change them (that runs org-timestamp-up/down which
knows e.g. to increment the year when the month is incremented from 12 to
1 and also knows to change the name of the day of the week).
