chmod is the command to change permissions on files. man chmod will

Hey again. It just occurred to me that you'll prolly wanna change the
owner of those files to something more prctical than root. That command

chown kenny file.txt

You mentioned doing this en mass. Just to be clear, wild cards will work
with chmod and chown. So:
chmod a+rw *
will set every file in the current directory to be world readable and
writable (if you execute it as root).
