Did the system start the task or is the task running under your account? You can only modify the priority tasks running under your account.

The task starts as a windows service. With "automatic" startup type and "localsystem" ownership. These settings need to remain as they are for reasons of overall system functionality.

I would think that being logged on as administrator would give me the access, but it does not.
