Is there an active Selection? 

Could you please post screenshots with the pertinent Panels (Toolbar, Layers, Options Bar, …) visible?

Modify what? What are doing? We need screenshots. What tool are you using, what are you trying to do, what layers you are working with, etc.

Thank you for the screenshot, as it shows the you have the Move tool and you do not have an active selection. Use one of the selection tools or convert your path to a selection. When you have a selection and see the marching ants you will then be able to modify it.

What specifically are you trying to do? Certain oprions will be grayed-out depending on whether you are on a specific tool (as in your screen capture) and can also be based on color mode, bit depth, and various other factors. The more information you can share, the better.
