Hi Melroy,
Perhaps you are not in a good direction. You probably never need to change the cordova files at all and instead you can add you js files and use them. It's not a good idea to change the base files in any programming frameworks.
cheers,

Hi ,
Using AppBuilder, you cannot modify the sources of the Cordova libraries. As you have noticed, these javascript files are read-only and even if they weren't all of the changes would have been lost upon building your application in the cloud. This is so, as when you perform a build, we take the Cordova bits from the server, instead of the local ones, in order to save time during the package upload.
Further, I must agree with and say that 3rd party library/framework files should not be changed with light hand. Instead, you can change the whole Cordova's (or any other library's) version and deploy newer bits. You can change the Cordova version from your project properties. As for other 3rd party frameworks or libraries you can use either the AppBuilder Package Manager or directly add the new files in your project navigator.
Finally, you should be able to edit any other .js file inside an AppBuilder project. For example, you can create a new Blank (JavaScript) project and see if the index.js file, under the js folder is editable. Also, just as Sepehr has noted, you should be able to add new files in order to write your code there.
I hope this helps.
