Why do you need to edit the CreatedDate?
I'm not entirely sure whether it's possible to edit the created date at all but, if it is, I'd recommend against doing that. The created date is incredibly helpful within reporting and, as you become more familiar with Salesforce you'll find uses for a genuine unmodified CreatedDate that you may not currently anticipate.
What I'd suggest as an alternative is to create a new field called whatever you prefer (e.g. Pseudo Created Date) and then have a workflow populate that field when a Lead is created. That will mean a value is put in there when you create a Lead but you can subsequently edit it, whilst preserving the Salesforce standard CreatedDate.
