No - that won't work.
Typically, any entry configured via the snmpd.conf file will be "read-only".
( I can explain the reasoning behind this if you like,
but it's essentially concerned with what happens of the agent is restarted)
The simplest approach here would be to configure
extend cmm /usr/local/bin/cmm
extendfix cmm /usr/local/bin/cmm some new args
and then issue
snmpset nsExtendRunType."cmmFix" = 3
Alternatively, set the entry up using SET commands.
That will allow the settings to be changed subsequently.

No - an access of read-create is sufficient to allow changes to the table.
The issue here is that nsExtendStorageType is set to 'read-only' for
snmpd.conf entries.

See above
