Hi,

You can change the attributes on a CD-RW disk.
You'll have to copy the contents or files on the CD-RW disk to your hard
drive and then you'll be able to change it.

No, you *can't* change the read-only attribute. You can
copy the file to the hard drive, change the attribute, do
some editing and then burn the file back to the CD, but
when that happens the read-only attribute will be reset.
