How can I add dates of birth to images of 1895 birth registries?

I had been looking for my grandmother's birth registration since I joined the church in 1981. I just found the 1895 San German, Puerto Rico births book which is online as a "duplicate" of the. It does not have the birthdates, just names. I want to go through all the entries I need to until I find her. I can add the dates so others can find their loved ones as I go. How can I do this officially? I am completely bilingual.

Puerto Rico, Civil Registration, 1805-2001 San Germán Nacimientos 1893-1896, L. 16-21 (L. 16 duplicado) https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:9Q97-Y33V-PQP?i=830&wc=9PTG-K68%3A131316801%2C135067201&cc=1682798

    @Angelis Iglesias I don't know if you have tried this already but if you select the index entry for that link you posted - it takes you to the 'original document' page with and Edit 'pencil' option. Unfortunately Date is not an option for editing on that page. I guess the Puerto Rico, Civil Registration offices only wanted these records searchable by name. There would have to be a new Project agreement for FamilySearch to index them any further I guess.
