Ok first off if you are just point and clicking your way to the file then no you will not be able to save. The way around this is by opening a terminal window applications <accessories <terminal then in terminal type:
It will prompt you for password so type it in.(note the cursor will not show your typing of password) Hit enter and it should open up your home folder. Keep the terminal window open and navigate to location of file and insert your changes. Save and all should work. Or go to terminal and insert:
Code:
sudo gedit filename
Enter your password and of course replace "filename" with whatever file you are trying to edit. This should open the specific file you can make your changes and save file. In both of these ways you are elevating your user privileges to a "root" user. Good luck.
