Edit read only properties of plugins

Hello, im having problems customizing some of the plugins. A few plugins
have properties i cannot change.

I wanted to change the outputDirectory property for the plugin
"maven-compiler-plugin". When i run "mvn compile" i get the Build Error :
"Cannot Override Read-Only parameter: outputDirectory in goal
compiler:compile"

The documentation for Maven 2 said that we could customize the layout for
the project, and that the basic plugins that come with maven 2 would work.
It has to be possible to edit these properties. Any suggestions?
