IANAL, but to have a copyright on a document/piece of work, you need to asert it by including a magic incantation, similar to:

"(c) 2006, Lionel Peterson, all rights reserved"

Without the assertion, you don't have a copyright as I understand it, but again, IANAL.

Besides, as Nadine points out, you have agreed to have this person represent you - modifying your resume could be seen as reasonable in that case.
