You should use "C-x RET c" before "C-x C-f" instead. That's because the file is already decoded by the time it is displayed, and so no tinkering with options>mule>set-coding-system will make any difference as to how it is displayed. (The reason the options>mule>set-coding-system option is disabled is probably because Emacs decided the file was in raw-text.)
