Putable Resources - changing attr on the fly

Why are there no public methods in FileResource to change the Putable-ness of
a file? I would like to be able to change this attribute on the fly. A simple hack is to
change the ATTR_PUTABLE to public from protected and then use setValue().
So, I don't have to keep modifying FileResource in successive versions could you
provide this or an alternative method (e.g. setPutable()), or explain any problems
by doing so?

Regards,

Paul.
