How to edit existing place with Google Places API

I am working for a business that deals with auto body shops - we have them subscribed to a service and want to enhance that service by utilizing the Goolge Places API.

I would like to update the places entries by adding or changing specific photos, descriptions and contact info. I realize there is a section of the documentation that deals with adding a 'place report' but I felt this flow was unclear and/or ambiguous.

In other words, what happens when i place this report? Is there a vetting process that only google is involved in? Does this even do what I'm asking it to do? Is this creating a new entry entirely?

Any help on clarification is appreciated. I may have missed the obvious here so if you feel that way let me know with a link please.

The Places Photo service is a read-only API that allows you to easily add high quality photographic content to your application.

Did you not understand the 'read-only' part?
