Textually established
The narrator reports the LORD saying, in the first person, that it repents him that he set up Saul as king.
Not established by grammar alone
Whether the statement reflects a claim about the divine nature, or a statement within a specific covenantal exchange, is an interpretive question the narration does not settle.
The denial in 1 Samuel 15:29 is spoken by Samuel later in the same chapter, at the same quotation level but by a different speaker. The change of speaker is relevant to the contradiction record.
This is a literary distinction between narration and independently established occurrence. It is not an argument that the reported event did not occur, and not an argument that it did.
