Question Can't delete anything in /usr

I have Solaris 9 box that I am trying to clean up to use as an apache web server. In the process of attempting to remove an old copy of apache in /usr/local I have run into a problem.
Logged in as root (or anything else) when trying to remove, chmod or chown anything in the /usr filesystem - the system responds that the action failed because it is a Read-only file system.

Well OK - but should not root be able to delete anything? If not how do I change /usr to RWX. 'chmod 777 /usr' does not work.
