Hi. If you are editing tracks in the songs outline, are these for files that are in your library? The only time I see the fields but can't edit them with get info is when I have a CD or DVD in the source outline and the information can't be changed. For example, if I just burned a playlist to CD as an mp3 CD or data disc, that CD (rather than the playlist) will be selected in the source outline once iTunes has finished writing CD. In that case I can't change the information that's written on the CD tracks, but I can edit the information if I move back to the playlist in the sources outline.
If you are trying to edit tracks that are in your Music library, check that the files are not locked by another application and that you have write privileges. Command-r will show you the track in finder. If you then get info with command-i under finder. Make sure that the file is not locked. Check that you have write permission by tabbing to Ownership & Permissions. If it says "collapsed disclosure triangle" toggle the field open with option-click. Then VO-keys right arrow to check that the pop-up button says that you can read and write. Close each window (get info from finder, and the finder window for the iTunes track) with command-w when you're done. You may have to command-tab over to iTunes again when you're done. Best guess if the track is a file on your disk is that either it's locked by another application or for some reason you don't have write permission - for example, if this was a file added from another user account or from an external disk with different permission setup. Checking get info from finder with the command-r and then the command-i sequence should tell you if this is the case. Hope this helps.
