Hi there, I have picked up someone else's file and they have created a table. The top row, when I go to select the text to change it, there's a lock icon that appears. Does anyone know what this is and how can I get rid of it to change the text?

It's certainly because this row is a header row. Only the first instance of a header row can be edited.
