I think I get it.
Because the above program tries to modify the constant (or program) zone,
which is not allowed.
The following program works:
package main
import "fmt"
import "unsafe"
import "reflect"
func main() {
s := string([]byte{'k', 'e', 'e', 'p'})
hdr := (*reflect.StringHeader)(unsafe.Pointer(&s))
byteSequence := (*byte)(unsafe.Pointer(hdr.Data))
fmt.Println(string(*byteSequence)) // k
*byteSequence = 'j' // crash here
fmt.Println(s) // expect: jeep
}
