What that means is that you need allow_system_table_mods to be set.
It's a postmaster-start-time GUC, but still just a GUC.

So, assuming that you want to use psql to enter your commands,
you'd do something like this:

1. Add allow_system_table_mods=on to postgresql.conf.
2. Restart postmaster.
3. Issue ALTER TABLE commands.
4. Remove allow_system_table_mods setting from postgresql.conf.
5. Restart postmaster.

Prudence would suggest that you also alter pg_hba.conf to prevent
anyone but yourself from connecting to the postmaster while it's
in this state.  But that's optional.
