How to remove file's written protection

Hey guys,
I am using some other people's cpp file which has written protection (a little lock's icon). Just wondering how I should change that so I can modify the file. I did not see an option in file's property page...
Thank you so much.

SetFileAttributes

...and where should I set the file attributes in vs2005?
Thank you.

well, you could write a small routine to remove the "read-only" attribute from all the files you need to modify.

open a dos-box (run->cmd) go to the directory where the file is and type 'attrib -r *.*'. This removes the read-only flag from all the files in the directory.
