Several problems.

First you did not correct the bug I already told you in my previous
mail about const FT x() const that should be const FT& x() const
(same for y()).

Second, here:
http://www.cgal.org/Manual/latest/doc_html/cgal_manual/Kernel_23/Chapter_main.html

first sentence:
CGAL, the Computational Geometry Algorithms Library, is written in C++ 
and consists of three major parts. The first part is the kernel, which 
consists of constant-size non-modifiable geometric primitive objects and 
operations on these objects.

which basically mean that you cannot change one coordinate of a point
but only the whole point. Like:

K::Point_2 p = p + K::Vector_2(1,2);

Third, here:
http://www.cgal.org/Manual/latest/doc_html/cgal_manual/Polygon_ref/Class_Polygon_2.html

you have:
Point_2 pgn [ std::size_t i ]  const Returns a (const) reference to the
i-th vertex.

So you cannot modify the point at all.

Once the points are inserted into the polygon, you cannot modify them
except removing them. You probably need to modify them before inserting
them in the polygon.

Sebastien.
