The Main Color is disabled because your sphere doesn't have any material attached to it.

Create a Material (Right click inside your project view | Create | Material) and attach it to your sphere, now you can change the color via code:

 sphere.renderer.material.color = Color.red;

Or via your inspector (the Main Color variable that will be visible to you)

See this for more info (make sure you watch all the beginner series from Unity)

You can't edit the Material in the bottom of the editor when your object is using the default material.

To set another material:

  1. expand the Mesh Renderer component

  2. expand the Materials section

  3. you can now see that Element 0 is Default-Material

  4. click the target (circle on the right) to pick another material
