To edit /boot/grub/menu.lst you will need to use sudo. So use:

sudo vi /boot/grub/menu.lst
Ubuntu has other text editors that are easier to use that vi, like nano or gedit. Vi is fine though if you are comfortable with it.
Just replace vi with nano in the above command to use nano. For graphical programs like gedit you should use gksudo instead of sudo, so for gedit:

gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst
