* Create a branch from your tag
* switch your working copy to that new branch (or a fresh checkout)
* change the file, commit
* create a new tag from that branch

You should never commit a change to a tag - it won't point to the code
that you've released anymore but already to a changed version.

If you don't care about that: TSVN only shows you a warning dialog with
the option to still commit to that tag - but it's not recommended to do
so, hence the warning.
