I believe the user wants essentially a "combobox" whereby you can select an item in a dropdown and edit it right in the UI for the dropdown and have it update the dropdown item. I don't know if this UI would be very intuitive to web users. — BobbyShaftoe

YUI have an example of a combobox built using their AutoComplete control, although it looks quite different from a normal select drop down. I couldn't vouch for how usable it would be either.

This is not directly possible, however you can use various JavaScript UI widgets to simulate this.

YUI has the AutoComplete which resembles a dropdown combobox. ExtJs also has a ComboBox that might be closer to what you want. Just search for JavaScript ComboBox on Google.
