Think about it. If you could edit a certificate after it had been issued, you could change its identity. So you could get a cert from Verisign for your own site, set up a fake amazon.com site, then edit your certificate to pretend it was for amazon.com... Or you could extend your certificate's life after it had expired (Verisign would love that!). You cannot edit a certificate it has been signed, it is a one-way encryption. The only way is to make a new certificate.
