Templates aren't protected by default =).
If they are protected there is generally a good reason such as heavy usage, you can always put a comment on the talk page and tag it with {{EditProtected}} which will summon someone with sysop rights.
You can also setup a /Sandbox page with the proposed changes so the person that makes the changes can see the differences and make sure it works.

The wiki way is not to ask and wait for someone else to act, but to act directly in good faith and communicate what you did and why so that if there is disagreement it can be resolved afterwards.
Sadly I only have template edit rights on my staff account and I really don't like using that account. In addition to this there are hundreds of copies of the template I fix so this becomes a nightmare.
