I got answer off-list:
"In the editor window in the upper right hand I have a lock icon. This
allows you to change to read only or write with a single click.
To see the icon select from the View menu "Show Navigation Bar"."
indeed it's there bit it's very small
Yes, there is this icon. You can set/clear the file lock attribute
and/or the read/write permissions *only* when you are **alowed** to do
this, means when the current user is also the owner of the file.
Otherwise, when you are not the owner of the file, you need to use the
Finder and the Info Panel (or the terminal) as described in order to
change permissions. This requires administrator rights and
authentication.
Note that this Lock Symbol is not available in Xcode 1.5
For further info please look also in the documentation "File
Permissions", and use man for chmod, chown, chflags.

thanks for the answer
the way you propose I'm using currently
take a look at BBEdit or CodeWarrior
they do allow to change read-only flag and I found it's very
convenient
(clearly 1 click is much better then
1. right click
2. moving mouse to the right item
3. command-I (since file is selected)
4. click on the permission menu
5. command-W to close info window
6. click again on xcode window (or command -tab) )
IMHO I think that XCode has usability problem not to allowing to
change r/o
thanks again

Hi
is it possible to change file's permission mode from within the
XCode?
You can change file permissions with the Info pane for the file
which is two mouse clicks away: in XCode, CTRL-click the file and
choose "Reveal in Finder" in the context menu, then in the Finder
CTRL-click the file and choose Get Info - then change the
permissions.
Alternatively use command chmod in the terminal.
IMHO, there are good reasons not to provide this feature from within
any other applications -- since it is good usability style for an
operating system not to provide many ways to achieve the same task.
I rather recall only one possible method which is actually 2 mouse
clicks away than possibly several ways which each are even more
mouse clicks away.

Andreas
I mean, if file is read-only xcode will ask me permission to change
file's mode flag
currently xcode asks permission to edit the file
but after you save it it still has r/o flag
thanks
