Hello,

You just need to login to your Cpanel >>> go to the option Files >>> go to >>> File Manager. Right here select the file for which you wish to change the permissions on and on the top Menu you will see the option Change Permissions click on it and change it as per your requirement.

The other way is to contact your Host Provider and ask them to change the permissions for particular file as per your requirement.

Thanks,
