Read-only is distinct from owner. Root can change the permissions to allow writing, and then write.

But I wouldn't do it. If Apple feels those should be read-only, there's probably a good reason for it.

Wha??? Root is no longer the Super User?? That is what this amounts to. I am 
ready to issue a ban on Lion on this network until I can determine the impact 
this will have on usability. I think this is a step in the wrong direction for 
Apple.
