The pine on the distribution should allow you to change it. There's some
info in the tech-notes at /usr/doc/packages/pine/tech-notes.txt:

   ALLOW_CHANGING_FROM
   This is now a hidden runtime feature called allow-changing-from.      
   Even with this feature turned on, users still have to include From:
   in their default-composer-hdrs or customized-hdrs in order to be able
   to edit the From line.
   
   A system administrator may disallow editing of the From line by
   putting the feature no-allow-changing-from in the system-wide fixed
   configuration file. The paranoid system administrator can compile in
   this behavior by defining NEVER_ALLOW_CHANGING_FROM in
   ./pine/osdep/os-xxx.h.


Bye,
