If you really want to let users mess around with your properties files, you can use standard java code like

java.util.Properties.load(file)

And then call setProperty(). You can also save the Properties object back to file.

Beware however that this save will remove any comments or ordering that you have in the file. I suggest you use two properties files, one which won't change (i18n for your code) and one that users can mess around with.
