How do I remove "read-only" from a custom field?

I have downloaded an app on the AppExchange that allows for rating to be stars. So it automatically created the custom field "Rating" which allows users to choose a number of stars on the lead. However, it is read only and it is uneditable which defeats the purpose. On page layout I cannot uncheck the box for read only. Ideas?

    I just installed this in my sandbox and it seems to work fine.  It works in conjunction with the Lead Rating, so as I change the rating the Rating stars change.

     

    Here is a hot rated lead:

    In other words it's suppose to be a read only field and work with the other rating field. 

     

    If you don't like that, simply copy the formula and make your own custom field.

     

    IMAGE( CASE( Rating, "Hot", "/img/samples/stars_500.gif", "Warm", "/img/samples/stars_300.gif", "Cold", "/img/samples/stars_100.gif", "/img/samples/stars_000.gif"), "rating")

     

    Looking at the app exchange it seems it only has a 1 star rating, which users don't like the app.

     

    :(
