Are you talking about a regular file, or an executable? Either way, you can right-click on an icon and adjust the properties there, and make the file executable if you wish, which has been available since at least 10.04 LTS.. All done through the GUI. On my Ubuntu machines at home and work, I can drag and drop, or cut and paste. Maybe that's a legacy of the version of Debian being used in the MachineKit port?
