Closed issues by default can not be edited. If you wish to make edits to closed issues, you will need to make changes to the CLosed status in the relevant workflow in order to make them available for editing. Some documentation on this subject can be found here and here.

If you use Tempo plugin, you can log time even on closed issues via its API. An example could be found at https://github.com/Leksat/jira-tt/blob/afad261/app/src/report.js#L82
