How do I change files in ROM?

I have searched everywhere, and all I can find is instructions on how to flash a new ROM. I don't want to flash a new ROM, I just want to remove a few files from my Windows directory. Everytime I try, it tells me "Access Denied" and gives me a message that the file is in ROM. Being as ROM is read only, I assume I have to unlock it somehow to change files in there?

Also, how do I search for things in this forum? I tried "Change files in ROM HTC Vogue" and got the following. How many words is 3?
The search term you specified (in) is under the minimum word length (3) and therefore will not be found. Please make this term longer. If this term contains a wildcard, please make this term more specific.

Re: How do I change files in ROM?

Unfortunately, that link didn't contain what I needed.

I am trying to get the Bell music store to work. I found a thread here that advised the following:
--------------------------------------
Goto windows\appdb folder. You'll find some java files here named s0_suite and so on. These are the sprint store data files. [...] Anyways I just deleted them but you may want to move so you can restore later as they are the java midlets for any java programs you might have installed.
--------------------------------------

I can neither move nor delete those files because they are in ROM. Everytime I try it tells me access denied, files are in ROM. I am not sure what to do, because every other thread mentions editing XML files and removing files and I have yet to see anyone else run into this problem. Even my weather app hack, I had to edit the registry because the XML containing the weather names was in ROM and gave me access denied.

I can do virtually nothing to customize my phone (outside just downloading and installing programs) because 90% of the files I need to play with are locked in ROM and can't be changed. I can't even change the attributes on them (read only or system). I tried both Total Commander and Resco, neither worked, same error in both.

Re: How do I change files in ROM?

What are you using to try and delete the files?
