Then don't use the -p flag. (If you're using -a at present you'll have to
replace it with the complete set of flags it represents.)

Should work fine. Unless the target directory is also readonly. In which case,
- "chmod -R +w" the target by hand the first time
- from then on run rysnc with the -p flag, and rely
on the umask
If you have a mix of things - stuff to preserve perms and stuff not to,
then you'll need two rsync runs with and without -p/--perms and a suitable
exclusion list for each run.
