You have to make sure that you have write rights:
chmod +w filename
and that you are the owner of the file (it might be that the owner of
that file is root and then you have to login as root)
Usually a good ideea is if you want to modify the code is to compile the
a copy of the program in your home directory and then use it as you need.
Hope this helps
