Which variable do you want to change? Maybe there's a better way than changing the m-file.

@mary: Did you try my suggestion? Copy the original function, enable the write-access, edit the new file. BTW.: It would be helpful if you answer my question for clarification - what does "it doesn't let me do this" mean?

"It doesn't let me to do this" is not an exhaustive description of the problem. Does your trial suffer from missing write-privilegs to the source files? Then copy the source to a folder which you are allowed to write in and modify the source there - of course using a different function name.

Never modify the source of a toolbox function!
