HI,
The iChat option to edit your Profile is for AIM Logins. (AIM and @mac.com or MobileMe and iCloud name Logins)
If you do not have a Buddy List that Logs in to AIM then the option to Edit the Profile is greyed out.
Actually to be precise you have to be logged in with that Account/Screen Name (I logged my AIM logins out to check).
Can you be a bit clearer about what it is you are trying to do ?
In many cases the email address is the ID or Screen Name that logs in to the server.
MobileMe issued @me.com names will tend to run out as the MobileMe account runs out (Stop working)
@mac.com names work forever (Lapsed Paid for accounts still works as Valid AIM Screen Names.
Any AIM Account that had a linked email for password recovery or the security questions would need changing at AIM (your account info at AIM Settings)

Why can't I edit my profile on iChat?
