Default Modify cell from function

Is it possible to update cells from within a function? I know you can read from them but updating gives the following (really unhelpful) error:

Run-time error '1004': Application-defined or object-defined error

Here is the code for the function:

Public Function Test() As Integer
Range("A2").Value = "Hello"
End Function

The formula from the cell I am calling it from is "=Test()".

NOTE: The error message does not actually pop up when run. You get #VALUE! in the calling cell and the value Hello is not written. What I did for the error was put a break-point on the Range line, then execute the line in the Immediate window.
