I have at least one document I have written in Open Office - Open
Document Text that when I return and open the document I cannot make
changes to - the name of the document is followed by "(read only)".  I
have not (knowingly) requested this "read only" status.
    1. Is there any way I can change this so it is not "(read only)"?
    2. How or why does this happen?
    3. Can I copy the text and paste it into a new document so it is not "(read 
only)"

there is a button 'edit file' on the standart toolbar. make sure it's pressed. 
after that you can edit the file and save it to any location. a document can 
become read-only if such property is set for that file or its folder or if you 
saved it, while being under another account, to a location that you have no 
write access to under your current account.
