A bad advise: It is not related to the question and there is a big chance that cdrw will not work on laptops. cdrw is harder to use than cdrecord and it supports only selected drives. cdrecord even works on chea laptops where the CD in on the same ATA cable as the HDD. Use the -immed option from cdrecord in this case (see man page). The original question was how to change permissions on the medium. This is not possible _after_ the CD has been written. If you like different permissions on the CD than in the filesystem, ther are many possibilities. One is to use mkisofs -o image.iso -r . (use or -r instead of -R will assign permissions at Rock Ridge level that allow anyone to read all files). Another way is to use the built in libfind in mkisofs mkisofs -i image.iso -R -find . -chmod a+rw will add read and write permissions to owner, group and others to all files.
