Unable to run snaptic package manager or apt-get

[Young, Loren R SGT NG NG NGB]

Sirs/Madam,
  I attempted to download Ultimatix and now I am unable to use any of my 
package managers to install programs.  I have tried several apt-get commands 
and receive the following error message: "Could not open lock file 
/var/lib/dpkg/lock -open 13 permission denied."

 How might I correct this problem?

Regards,
L.R. Young
