You can check permissions using 'ls'

ankh% ls -l /etc/apt/sources.list
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 698 2007-01-12 16:51 /etc/apt/sources.list

I'd suggest not changing those permissions, but editing that
file as the root user. You can use the tool 'gksu' to
execute your favourite (graphical) editor as the root user,
e.g. 'gksu /usr/bin/gedit'
