Nearly do adjustment that cannot be modified (4-4)
I believe the answer is:
read-only
'cannot be modified' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'nearly do adjustment' is the wordplay.
'adjustment' indicates an anagram (the order of letters is adjusted).
'nearly'+'do'='nearlydo'
'nearlydo' with letters rearranged gives 'READ-ONLY'.
'that' acts as a link.

(Another definition for read-only that I've seen is " Like some computer memories".)
I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
