What OS are you running?

You will have to setup and run some process as the root user- a root crontab entry to find & chmod the files, that runs every X minutes, M-F will work

Code:
 0,10,20,30,40,50  * * * 1-5  /usr/bin/chmod  755 /path/to/files/*

You may have to get the sysadmin to set this up.

Note: you do realize the rwxr--r-- means anybody can copy the file and chmod it themselves, then execute it? As in you can write a shell script to do this.
