I checked by config reader... the setting is already present

/apps/osso/hildon-desktop/
menu_edit_disabled = false

It says
Reinstallation of hildon-home and hildon-desktop is not possible, it can not be downloaded.

-First open HAM and enable Maemo Extras and Extras-Devel repositories.
-open xterm and:

sudo gainroot
apt-get update

and then like seanmcken said

apt-get install --reinstall hildon-home hildon-desktop
