Anyway, the file's permissions are read only (-r--r--r--) but root also
does not seem to be able to change the permissions.

Entries in the /proc file system are not implemented as are normal files.
Not being files, they really don't have alterable permissions. A /proc
entry with 0444 permissions probably doesn't even have a write method
implemented.
