In C#, the properties of anonymous types are read-only:
var person = new { Surname = "Smith", OtherNames = "John" };
person.Surname = "Johnson"; // ERROR: .Surname is read-only
Of course I can declare a real class if I want writable fields or properties, but regardless, what is the reasoning behind this design decision to make the properties read-only?

Interesting article on that here. From there ...
... [B]y ensuring that the members do not change, we ensure that the hash is constant for the lifetime of the object.This allows anonymous types to be used with collections like hashtables, without actually losing them when the members are modified. There are a lot of benefits of immutabilty in that, it drastically simplifies the code that uses the object since they can only be assigned values when created and then just used (think threading)
