How can I completely/permanently disable the read-only feature on skydrive/microsoft office?

I am tired of opening documents from my tablet to my laptop, just to be inconvenienced by the read-only feature that I never even asked for in the first place. 
I see no purpose in this feature. Even if I ever did want to use it, they can always save a copy in another folder and edit so this read-only feature is pointless. 
Does anyone know how to get rid of it? Or at the very least disable it for when I send files?
