Default Writing to a read-only system file?

I recently had a machine where bootup stopped at a C prompt because of
this.

The msdos.sys file is hidden, the attribute is read-only. Yet a sound card
install apparently changed the default BootGUI setting from 1 to 0.

Changing it back restored the system.

How can any program write to a read only hidden file?
