If I understand you correctly, you are talking about the very first measure (= the pickup) - right?
You have a measure of 1 Quarter - right?
And you need to change the measure to an ordinary 2/4 measure - right?
This works for me:
Time Signature Tool.
Double-click the first measure (= the pickup).
Set the measure range to
Measure 1 Through 1
Set the
Number of Beats
to 2
Now the first measure is a 2/4 measure.

There are a couple of ways to create a pickup measure. If you used Document > Pickup Measure then use the Selection Tool and select the pickup measure, then Document > Pickup Measure > Clear Pickup > OK.

Rather than Finale's pickup feature, it looks this was created as a 1/4 measure displayed as 2/4. To delete it, select the measure stack (double-click with the Selection tool) and pick Delete Measure Stack from the Edit menu.

Thank you very much, Peter, bill and motet.
My case was the one mentioned by Peter
Then the route is:
1) Time Signature Tool.
2) Double-click the the pickup measure
3) Set the measure range to: Measure # Through #
4) Set the Number of Beats to 2
5) Now the first measure is a 2/4 measure.
