You don't. The CDFS filing system used on CD-ROMs knows nothing about file
attributes and permissions. You can only change the read only attribute of a
file when you copy the file to your hard disk. Do this by right clicking and
unchecking the Read-only attribute on the Properties page or if you have a lot
of protected files in a folder right click on the folder, select Properties
and uncheck the read only box and then when asked apply it to the contents of
the folder.
