Jiang is correct to suggest that you should use

    snmpset -v 1 -c private  localhost sysLocation.0 s "right here"

given the snmpd.conf file you're using.

However I would *not* recommend replacing
    rocommunity public
with
    rwcommunity public

public is too well-known a community string to allow SET support.
In fact, I'd suggest changing "private" to something else.
Think of this as a password - you wouldn't allow the whole world
to log into your machine and change/delete anything they wanted to.
So why open up SNMP in this way?

Security on SNMPv1 is not exactly strong at the best of times, but
that's no reason to remove what little protection you do have!
