I'm trying to edit a page in Dreamweaver 8 that has no .dwt extension but is
almost entirely an uneditable region. I cannot detach any templates obviously,
and renaming and changing directories does not work either.

Any help is much appreciated.

ok, well the dwt extension only applies to the template, not pages that
use the template. pages that use the template will have the normal html
(or php, asp whatever the page is) extension.

have you actually tried detaching the template, or do you just think you
can't because you think there's not a template applied to the page? i'm
guessing the page is using the template, otherwise it wouldn't have any
uneditable regions. do you see a sort of yellowish border around the
page, with "Template:" in the upper right corner? that means it's using
a template, and whatever is next to the word "Template" is the template
it's using. either detach the template, or edit the the template file so
that it has editable regions.

and you might want to look in the Dreamweaver help file for more info on
how templates work, because if you plan on using them, you need to
understand how they work.

hope that helps!
