I need to change a couple of details in a PDF on my phone, but it opens as read-only. How can I turn on editing?

Honestly, phone viewers just open files as read-only by default. You will need an app like Adobe Acrobat to actually edit the text, assuming it isnt locked with permissions by whoever sent it.
