    Clear all selections, Edit>Properties, Find filter, Find by Name "Comp or Pin", More, select the refdes, Apply, you will then get the Property Editor, change, or delete, the property value as required, OK, or Apply to accept the changes, close out the dialogs and right-click>Done to set the change(s).

    I do this step by step ,when I get the property editor,I do not find any property attached to the comp,but if I use the command "show element" ,the message window shows:

    LISTING: 1 element(s)

           < COMPONENT INSTANCE >      

      Reference Designator: U16
      Package Symbol:       SO-20

      Component Class:      IC
      Device Type:          PCA9545_SO20

      Placement Status:     PLACED
        origin-xy:    (4530.00 3275.00)
        rotation:  0.000  degrees
        not_mirrored

      Properties attached to component definition
        PART_NUMBER       = 21115-80843

    How can I find the PART_NUMBER in the Property Editor and modify it.

    In which case, this property and value came from the netlist (logic) import, the only way to change the property value will be within the netlist and then reload the data.
