Major Hack:

If you really need to do this (as I do) you can always hack around it by immediatley setting the field to be "editable" defining the field as follows:

class Point(models.Model):
  mystamp=models.DateTimeField("When Created",auto_now_add=True)
  mystamp.editable=True

This will make the field editable, so you can actually alter it. It seems to work fine, at least with the mysql backing engine. I cannot say for certian if other backing stores would make this data immutable in the database and thus cause a problem when editing is attempted, so use with caution.
