Try the following:

camcontrol modepage da0 -m 8 -P 1

If WCE is set to 0, you can't edit the value.  If it is set to 1, you can
edit the value.

(When the page control field is set to 1, you get a bitmask back of the
parameters that can be changed.  That is what camcontrol uses to figure out
whether the field can be changed.)
