OK. I just went over to a fresh Mac running Lion, duplicated TextEdit, edited the info.plist inside the app, added a space, saved it and tried to launch the app.
It immediately quit due to a codesigning error. This tells me that codesigned apps can't be modified at all.
If you are right and I am wrong, Is there a project setting in Xcode that allows us to control this? Or some other flag somewhere?

OK, so that tells me that you answer is the right one. But still, something is preventing a codesigned app from being edited.
Hmmm.
