Change during sedition (4)
I believe the answer is:
edit
'change' is the definition.
(editing is a kind of changing)
'during sedition' is the wordplay.
'during' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'EDIT' can be found hidden inside 'sedition'.
(Other definitions for edit that I've seen before include "Change text" , "This is an act of cleaning" , "Revise - expurgate" , "Blue-pencil" , "Fix" .)
