You certainly can change the permissions on $HOME if you are not root:

roberto@bogota:/home$ pwd
/home
roberto@bogota:/home$ ll -d roberto
drwxr-x---  12 roberto roberto 4096 May 22 01:12 roberto
roberto@bogota:/home$ chmod o+rx roberto
roberto@bogota:/home$ ll -d roberto
drwxr-xr-x  12 roberto roberto 4096 May 22 01:12 roberto
roberto@bogota:/home$ chmod o-rx roberto
roberto@bogota:/home$ ll -d roberto
drwxr-x---  12 roberto roberto 4096 May 22 01:12 roberto
roberto@bogota:/home$ 

Regards,
