If your account has read access to the file, you can make a copy owned by your account and edit that:

# cp /path/filename filename
# chmod 0644 filename

If the editted file -- your copy -- must replace the original -- your colleague's copy -- then your colleague must copy the new file over the original. The system administrator can also perform this operation.
