DML not allowed on DatedConversionRate

Hi I am writing an Apex Class that updates the currencys exchange rates and I get this error:

 

 DML not allowed on DatedConversionRate

 

I have seen apps, in javascript, and flex that updates the currencies, but why apex can NOT?

 

best regards

Hmm.. It might not be allowed outright from apex, but just in case, have you read through this:

Once the above configuration is done, please use the below piece of code to update the Managed Dated Currency.

 
        HttpRequest feedRequest = new HttpRequest();
        feedRequest.setEndpoint('callout{Named_Credentials}/services/data/v36.0/sobjects/DatedConversionRate/'+ {idDatedConversion} +'?_HttpMethod=PATCH');
        feedRequest.setBody('{ "ConversionRate" : '+ {rate }+' }');//Rate to be updated            
        feedRequest.setHeader('Content-Type', 'application/json');
        
        feedRequest.setMethod('POST');
        Http http = new Http();
        try
        {
            if(!Test.isRunningTest()){
                HTTPResponse feedResponse = http.send(feedRequest);
            }
        }         
        catch(Exception ex)
        {
            System.debug('exception in BatchCurrecnyCovnersionUpdate.execute method '+ex.getMessage());
        }
