What is the reason that kernel driver of eeprom is configured only as read-only ?
Probably depends on the hardware. I'm pretty sure that *some* eeproms are writable.
Is it because the BIOS is stored there ?
Remember that the BIOS is stored in one of what may be several eeproms in the system - graphics cards and other controllers probably have their own eeproms. You might want to think about why most systems do a restart after updating the BIOS, and then ask yourself if you really want to write to it while the system is up....
Is there a way to make it writable ?
Depends on which eeprom you're talking about.
