Do you mean, changes the permissions on the file? I think that is OS-dependent so you'll have to do a Runtime.exec on the OS command (e.g. "chmod" for Unix, I forget the DOS/Windows equivalent, also for Windows it depends if it's FAT where there ARE no "permissions", or NTFS, where you have ACL's ...)
