copy it to a folder you have the permission to. "Home" for example.
or do something like:
This will allow anything for anybody to do what any user wants for this specific folder (not for subfolders). If you want for subfolders, too:
This will change the permissions for any subfolder underlying to the "foldername". But please be carefull, if you don´t know what you are doying. I would recommend to copy the file to a folder, you have the permission to.
