Making spreadsheet cell editable from keyboard

Question

When I click on any cell in the spreadsheet, the whole cell gets highlighted. If I want to change only a part of the value in the cell, I have to click in the command line. Is there a way to get around this? In Excel, I can double-click my mouse or Press [F2] key to accomplish this.
