Call std.file.setAttributes() first, which has apparently been 
added just three days ago: :)

If you can't work with git head version of dmd, then do what it 
does yourself, depending on your platform:


void setAttributes(in char[] name, uint attributes)
{
version (Windows)
{
cenforce(SetFileAttributesW(std.utf.toUTF16z(name), 
attributes), name);

}
else version (Posix)
{
assert(attributes <= mode_t.max);
cenforce(!chmod(toStringz(name), 
cast(mode_t)attributes), name);

}
}

For example, if you are on Linux:

import core.sys.posix.sys.stat;
import std.conv;

// ...

chmod("/my/file", cast(mode_t)octal!777)
