how do I change the center location of a circle say the x and y coordinates. I found them but it didn't let me modify them.

    It sounds like the circle has a coincident constraint in place: https://cad.onshape.com/help/#constraints.htm?Highlight=constraint
    In the sketch ,you can check the box to show constraints and then select and delete the one that is preventing you from and then add your dimensions.

    Remember you need to be editing a sketch to do this. If you are looking at the measurement in the bottom left of the window, that is just our built-in measure tool which can not be edited: https://cad.onshape.com/help/#measure-ps.htm?Highlight=measure tool

    @emil_holquin, You can check the box to show constraints and then select and delete the one that is preventing you from and then add your dimensions as suggested by @bradley_sauln
    Alternate solution:-
    Step 1:- Copy that circle with the help of copy sketch entity
    Step 2:- Delete the previously created circle
    Step 3:- Paste that circle with the help of paste sketch entities
    Step 4:- Now you can give dimension as per your requirement to newly pasted circle
    Please refer below video for more detail.
