unity 2018.3 prefab overwriting issue

Question

hi! Im having issues with prefabs currently. Everytime I "edit" / change a instantiated prefab object it seems to overwrite / do the same changes to the prefab itself. How can I stop this? I know unpacking the prefab seems to work, but how would I do this in a script? I also keep getting this error when trying to parent an object

Setting the parent of a transform which resides in a Prefab Asset is disabled to prevent data corruption (GameObject: 'Inventory_ItemBox'). UnityEngine.Transform:set_parent(Transform)

im doing this from script @tormentoarmagedoom,

using UnityEngine;

public class AxeHitBox : MonoBehaviour { public GameObject Hit; public AxeScript Axe;

 private void OnTriggerEnter(Collider other) {
     Axe.IsDamaging = false;

     Instantiate(Hit);

     Hit.transform.position = this.transform.position;
     Hit.transform.rotation = this.transform.rotation;
     Hit.transform.localScale = this.transform.localScale;

     Hit.transform.parent = other.gameObject.transform;

     }

}

tho i think I've know why. Im guessing its because its directly linked to the prefab itself on the "Hit" variable, there for it applys the scale change to the prefab itslef. tho its what im guessing atleast. tho im not sure how to work around this.
