Same here. ResEdit 2.1 will not let you make any changes to
Resource info (name, number of resource) under system 7 on an LC.

There used to be a workaround, however, on the LC, under 6.0.7.
If you are desperate, you might try this: go back to 6.0.7 
temporarily somehow; go to the resource you want to change the 
name or number of, and open it *all the way* (that is, don't just
select the desired resource, but *double-click* the desired
resource). Then Get Resource Info and make your changes. ResEdit
should allow this.
