To change the permissions, you would need to be logged in as root or 
su'd as root.  But, if you could do that, you would be able to copy the 
folder.  Assuming you have the root password, you can always hold down 
alt + ctrl + F1 (or F2 or F3, etc. to F6) to start a new tty session and 
log in as root and then copy the files.  Hit exit to logout and then alt 
+ ctrl + F7 to return to your X-window session.

p.s. it is a real security issue to chmod /usr/share!!!
