When I open the USB stick, it doesn't say anything (on the top) "read only 
mode".

What file system on the stick? If it is FAT there is no such thing as ownership.

Regardless of the file type, if the system present it as owner/user "root"
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 5796864 Mar  6  2013 Ancient-Electricity_new.ppt

I should be able to change the permission when I login as root, but I can not; 
that is what puzzling me.
