I use field_collection dev version with a patch to support content translation : http://drupal.org/node/1316162#comment-6827200

Since i have field_collection fields in my content type, y can't edit title or path anymore.

Debugging step by step, this is why they can't be updated :
I update title node
node is loaded, field collection entities are loaded, with reference to node parent
node is saved (title is updated)
field collection entity is updated
field collection updates node (to save his reference). But it saves the node with data he get when it was loaded before, so it doesn't have title or path updates yet

Patch below resolve this.

This may be related to another issue about field collection items trying to use out of date host entity info during saving: #2220751: Update host entity in hook_field_presave()

A fix for that one may solve this.

Curious if the problem you described is still an issue in the latest version. I just tried testing it by making a node with a field collection and I was able to change its title.

Can you provide more specific steps to reproduce this?
