Ah.  The command you want is chmod.  If you, in your logged-in persona, 
are not the owner of the file, then you would need to use sudo, which 
allows you to execute a single command as a privileged user.  Here is 
the command to make the directory world-writeable.

chmod go+rw /Library/CFMSupport

Start Terminal.app and enter the command at the prompt.  Don't do too 
much of this, lest you find yourself renaming all of your computers 
after Tolkien characters.
