Great question...
I just spent some time to figure it out and came up with a cool way!


check it out!
[sk at tinman fakie]$ cat test.php
<?php
$set = array( 'vegetable'=>'lettuce', 'fruit'=>'coconut', 
'bean'=>'chickpea',
       'grain'=>'corn' );
$set = array_flip($set);
$set['chickpea'] = 'legume';
$set = array_flip($set);

/*
$set2 = array_slice($set, -2, 1);
$set2 = array_flip($set2);
$set['chickpea
*/
print_r($set);


So, I flip it, rename the new index and then flip it back to normal. This 
way lets me edit the index
I normally couldn't edit.
