They are readable. They are not writable.

This happens automatically. --enable takes the current config file and
changes and saves it. If there is no config file in your personal texmf
tree yet, it uses whatever is current as input. That should be the one in
texmf.local. This is true for updmap, texconfig and fmtutil.

As soon as you have a personal configuration, using the i-Package for
configuration does not work anymore because it restricts itself to the
system-wide configuration.
