Hi, i started editing one of the templates provided on indesign web. 

The template is called abstract storyboard layout. 

 

My problem is that I cannot edit the text at the top of the frame.

The dotted lines indicate that the text frames are on a parent page. You must go on the parent page to be able to edit the text. You can also “release” the frames by Cmd-Shift-clicking on Mac), Ctrl-shift-clicking (on Windows) on them on the current page.

To explain a little further, parent pages store content which is used one one or more document pages. Typically it's used for items like headers, footers, page number and other elements used on multiple pages. You can create different parent pages for different kinds of formatting.
