I've got an object and want to work with the Mirror Modifier on it, but I first need to change its Origin point. So, I placed my 3D Cursor where I want to set the new Origin point. However, when I do:

Object > Origin > Set Origin to 3D Cursor

The origin point doesn't move.

Is there a way to unlock this?

I also found that in the same scene, I have two objects. One I can move in Object Mode, but this particular one I cannot move, nor can I select it in Object Mode.

Here's why : In the Object context, the selectable property in the visibility window was unchecked. Set it to selectable solved it all.

I was working on it only in edit mode, and in edit mode everything was selectable, here's why i didn't understood :/

You won't be able to use the 3D Cursor to snap the Origin of an object if any of its scale components are set to $0$. First Apply the scale, and it should work again.
