well its kinda personal between me and him. its been an ongoin beef since the beginning of the school year. basically he tried to test my skills and i managed to get into his system so he made all my file read only and i have a program due tomorrow so i cant edit it since he made all my files read only.
This situation is kind of tricky, I will leave it to the mods/admins for the follow up.

Since read-access is available copy of the existing scripts should be possible to a temp location ( /tmp ) or atleast to user's home directory provided 'x' permission on directories that contain required files is not ceased by the admin.
In that case, a copy of the required file can be taken and still be edited as before.
