You still can. But it does seem that something may have changed.

I just tried it. I double-clicked on a free pad and went to the advanced
tab and changed the net assignment from free to FGND, which happened to be
a handy net on a board I had up. I clicked on the global button and
accepted the edit. Only the individual pad was changed, no others. This
seems to match Mr. Reagan's experience. This is P99SE SP6.
Then I pulled up the edit window again, pressed the global button, and
edited the net name. This time I looked more carefully at what was going
on. Unlike most edits, the Copy Attributes checkbox that causes changes to
be applied globally was not checked automatically when I changed the net
assignment. I don't remember seeing that before. Protel is apparently
trying to protect us from accidentally and massively changing certain pad
parameters.
I checked the box, accepted the edit, and all free pads made the change.
