As root, I changed the time zone with tzconfig to PST.
But the change cannot be saved because KNOPPIX tells
me that /etc/timezone is on the READ-ONLY filesystem.
As long as my system is running my time zone stays at PST.
But after a reboot, it goes back to the CET time zone.
(And I have to update the time zone again.)
How do I make the PST time zone permanent?

--Since you are running from the live-cd, you can do this:
' la /etc/timezone ' == List it
' cd /etc '
' rm timezone ' == Remove symlink
' cp /KNOPPIX/etc/timezone . ' == Copy original file over
' tzconfig ' == Change timezone
--I haven't tested it with persistent home, but it *should* keep the changes if you update your saved-config.

That does change /etc/timezone and preserve it across reboots, but it doesn't seem to effect anything. I performed the change above, did a save-config, rebooted, and here's what I get:
root@0[knoppix]# cat /etc/timezone
US/Central
root@0[knoppix]# /usr/sbin/tzconfig
Your current time zone is set to US/Central
Do you want to change that? [n]: n
Your time zone will not be changed
root@0[knoppix]# date
Thu Apr 1 18:51:12 EST 2004
Notice that 'date' is still displaying EST (so does 'ls', the desktop clock, and everything else I've tried).
Since changing /etc/timezone doesn't seem to change the timezone, what does?

I agree with grante.
I experienced the same thing.
I have the same question:

Have a look at the symlink /etc/localtime and see where it points to. If it's incorrect delete it and make a new one with:
ln -s /usr/share/zoneinfo/whereeveryouare /etc/localtime

--Also have a look at /etc/init.d/hwclock.sh ; you might try running it again as root after updating the time, altho I haven't tested this.
