One way to get group & other write permissions, assuming you want just regular files:

Code:
find /path/to/files -type f \( -perm -20 -o -perm -02 \)  -print

you specify the bit you want, 2, and then the position in -perm -value. The minus tells find to and the permsision bit you specify with the permission bits of the file.
