You should put the form inside each node and use ng-show and ng-hide to enable and disable editing, respectively. Something like this:

<li>
  <span ng-hide="editing" ng-click="editing = true">{{bday.name}} | {{bday.date}}</span>
  <form ng-show="editing" ng-submit="editing = false">
    <label>Name:</label>
    <input type="text" ng-model="bday.name" placeholder="Name" ng-required/>
    <label>Date:</label>
    <input type="date" ng-model="bday.date" placeholder="Date" ng-required/>
    <br/>
    <button class="btn" type="submit">Save</button>
   </form>
 </li>

The key points here are:

I've changed controls ng-model to the local scope
Added ng-show to form so we can show it while editing
Added a span with a ng-hide to hide the content while editing
Added a ng-click, that could be in any other element, that toggles editing to true
Changed ng-submit to toggle editing to false

Here is your updated Plunker.

Question 2

When using ng-repeat what is the best way to be able to edit content?

In my ideal situation the added birthday would be a hyperlink, when this is tapped it will show an edit form - just the same as the current add form with an update button.

HTML:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head lang="en">
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <title>Custom Plunker</title>
    <script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/angularjs/1.0.3/angular.min.js"></script>
    <script>
      document.write('<base href="' + document.location + '" />');
    </script>
    <script src="app.js"></script>
    <link href="//netdna.bootstrapcdn.com/twitter-bootstrap/2.2.0/css/bootstrap-combined.min.css"
    rel="stylesheet">
  </head>
<body ng-app="birthdayToDo" ng-controller="main">
    <div id="wrap">

      <!-- Begin page content -->
      <div class="container">
        <div class="page-header">
          <h1>Birthday Reminders</h1>
        </div>
            <ul ng-repeat="bday in bdays">
                <li>{{bday.name}} | {{bday.date}}</li>
            </ul>

           <form ng-show="visible" ng-submit="newBirthday()">
            <label>Name:</label>
            <input type="text" ng-model="bdayname" placeholder="Name" ng-required/>
            <label>Date:</label>
            <input type="date" ng-model="bdaydate" placeholder="Date" ng-required/>
            <br/>
            <button class="btn" type="submit">Save</button>
        </form>
      </div>

      <div id="push"></div>
    </div>

    <div id="footer">
      <div class="container">
        <a class="btn" ng-click="visible = true"><i class="icon-plus"></i>Add</a>
      </div>
    </div>
    </body>

App.js:

var app = angular.module('birthdayToDo', []);

app.controller('main', function($scope){ 

    // Start as not visible but when button is tapped it will show as true 

        $scope.visible = false;

    // Create the array to hold the list of Birthdays

        $scope.bdays = [];

    // Create the function to push the data into the "bdays" array

    $scope.newBirthday = function(){

        $scope.bdays.push({name:$scope.bdayname, date:$scope.bdaydate});

        $scope.bdayname = '';
        $scope.bdaydate = '';

    };
});
