It should be possible now because it's a multi-select list. When you're 
submitting an object you should be able to use Ctl-Click in the browser to 
select multiple categories and sub-categories. Though the mechanism for 
doing a multi-select may vary between browsers and operating systems.

This is a little more problematic. Certain functions of this sort can be 
done by an administrator but it needs a bit of consistent judgement to make 
sure that significant changes aren't made without changing the version 
number, otherwise people wouldn't be able to tell that an object had changed 
since they downloaded it.

So for changing typos within the description, keywords and possibly for 
small changes to documentation files and other meta-data you can email an 
admin or post a request here.

For changing files that fix problems with the object or change functionality 
you should create a new version which means uploading a complete new copy. 
There are times when it may make sense to make an exception to this. For 
example, if you forget a file or fix a bug and you can get an administrator 
to upload it for you before anyone's downloaded it, then I don't see a 
problem with that.
