 I'd be very careful doing this. If I was the project manager and I prevented you from making these changes then I wouldn't use you again if I found out you'd edited the files to workaround the controls I'd put in place.

If you need to be able to make changes to the source, or anything else in the project settings, then I suggest you discuss this with your project manager and don't work around controls that may have been put in place on purpose.
