>From the command line, use sudo chmod xxx <file> <folder>
The three digits refer to permissions for user, group and others in that
order.
The number is in the range 0 to 7. To get its meaning, simply write it in
binary and the three bits refer to read, write and execute in order. Here's
an example.
sudo chmod 640 file.
6 is 110 which means that the user can read and write the file but cant
execute it.
4 is 100 means the group can read but cant write or execute.
0 is 000 mean others cant do anything.

If u dont like command line, do sudo nautilus. navigate to the file and
right click > properties and permissions tab. Change the settings there.

I hope this helps.

Ishan
