Don't change it in the first place.

The problem you are having is with the brush tool. I don't know what the deal is with that.

Make sure you have a grayscale color selected I guess?

Photoshop 7.0 can't edit 16-bit images fully (certain functions are disabled such as brush tool). There is a plug-in that will let you export a 16-bit png (super-png I think) but it is kind of useless because all of your editing has to be done in 8-bit. The conversion to 8-bit loses most of the quality and when you import into the game it is all blocky.
