I wanted to change the "Black & Gold" to a different text. The layer says to double click it to change, but even after double clicking it still does not allow to change the text, how is it supposed to be done, if anybody can help out please.

The Text you have cannot be edited. It is not a true Text Layer. It was outlined in Illustrator and placed as a Smart Object.
 
When double clicking on the smart object a .psb file opens.
That psb file contains a non editable vector file (the text can not be changed).
I you want to edit the text you'll need to rasterize the smart object, erase the text after matching the font and type in the desired text.
Then you can close and save the psb file and the result of the changes will show.

I also think that the original file was not created for changing the text, it was for adding a logo. The "Black and Gold" was supposed to be a logo and not editable text.

When you double click the SO, your supposed to turn off the existing "logo" and add your own.

I used Eggy's technique to change the text, and created a group. Open the SO, in the group just turn off the old text layer and add a new text layer. Position within the box................or you can turn off the box as well.

Close and save the SO (PSB file).
