svn:needs-lock is a versioned property, not a revision property. You
set it by checking out a working copy, then using e.g...

svn propset svn:needs-lock "on" foo

...where foo is the file whose svn:needs-lock property you want to
enable. Then you commit that change.

You do not use the pre-revprop-change hook for this because it is not
a revision property.
