I do not really understand what you do.
This is my interpretation: while actions are running you want to modify something else.
Is this a correct assumption? If so: you would have to wait until one process has finished.
If my assumption is not correct: please describe step by step what you do.

You have loaded your song file into Mp3tag and selected it (clicked on it on the right side "File List")?
Without selecting at least one file, you can not edit metadata or add a cover to it.
