You can not do this. When you export a pages file into a PDF it maintains the original that you could edit and create another PDF. But you cannot edit PDF's with Pages. Editors to do so, are available and most cost money. I haven't checked lately but you could look at LibreOffice (open source and free) and see if it can modify PDF's.
