If the security is because a password was applied, you have to use the password to unprotect the PDF.

If the PDF appears secured because it is a form created by LiveCycle Desinger, you have to use LiveCycle Designer to change the text.

If the PDF is a scanned image, you will have to use imaging editing software to modify the image.

It is always easier to edit the original source docuemnt.
