Non-Project Files Protection dialog
This dialog appears when you try to edit non-project files: SDK sources, external sources and so on. Such files are intentionally protected from modification. For example, it is not recommended that you change Go SDK packages as you are supposed to reuse them as is.
If you want to work with these files, add them to the content root. A content root in GoLand is a folder that contains your source code, build scripts, unit tests, and documentation. In the Project tool window, this folder is marked with the icon.
If you want to edit these files only once without adding them to your project, use one of the options in the dialog.

This file: select this option to disable protection for the file or files.
All files in this directory: select this option to disable protection for the listed files and all files in the same directory.
Any non-project file: select this option to disable protection.
If you need to edit files in the vendor directory, consider adding this directory as a content root to your project. Read more about content roots in the Content root article.
