A cleared check is one for which the money due by means of the check has already been paid to the payee. So a stop or freeze cannot be placed on it because, the funds have already been paid out and the bank cannot reclaim the funds paid out for a check.

For ex: If I give you a cheque on 1st of May 2013, it will be valid till 31st of July 2013. If you do not cash the cheque before 31st July 2013, the cheque is worthless. Even if you manage to deposit the cheque in your bank, it will come back with no money.

What do you mean by at par cheque?

At par cheque is a cheque on which no charge is deducted by the bank for crediting to your account, even if your account is in a branch that is in a different city from where the cheque is issued. For example, if your account is in Mumbai, and a company with its account in Delhi gives you a cheque, the Bank will charge certain amount from the cheque, as the cheque will have to be sent to Delhi to get cleared. However, with the networking of branches of most banks, it is possible to get the cheque cleared without sending it to the issuing branch. So, many private and some public sector banks are issuing at par chequebooks to their account holders. This means that you can pay a bill in Delhi by cheque even if your account is in some different city. The receiver of the cheque will not have to pay any charge on the credit of the cheque, meaning that he will be more willing to accept your cheque

Depositing the cheque does not give funds access until the bank has cleared the cheque and received the funds from the other bank. Settlements of any type can not take place until the funds are cleared which can take 3-5 working days.

Can you overwrite or edit or alter the details in a check?

Preferably NO. It is advisable not to rewrite/overwrite any contents in the cheque. But if situation warrants, we must counter-sign near the altered area to confirm that it was a legitimate change done by the cheque issuer. Any unsigned modifications in the cheque would make the cheque unusable and the bank will not release any payments.
