I think they could do
rm -r dir_in_question
to remove the directory. (At least I can on my system. I get asked
if I want to remove a write-protected file, then it gets removed.)
Prior to that you could move all the files you want to keep to new
directory and then move them back when you've finished. Then add
your own replacement to the deleted root-owned file.
