Of course you can set the message of
a Status at runtime. However, it can only be set when the status object
is created. Once a ststus has been created the message cannot be changed.
If you think about it, this makes sense. Why do you want to set the message
of an IStatus? Typically what is done when catching errors and propogating
them to a client is that the status is added as a child of a  MultiStatus.
You could do somthing like this.

IStatus status = peformAction();
if (!status.isOk()) {
    MultiStatus result = new
MultiStatus(MyPlugin.ID, MyConstants.ERROR_CODE, "My error message",
null);
    result.add(status);
    return result;
}

You can only set the message when creating an instance of IStatus (see
org.eclipse.runtime.Status and org.eclipse.runtime.MultiStatus).
