AFAIK permissions are set at the time the file is placed there and will affect the access to them from then on. If you are able to fopen the file, why do the permissions matter? If you can't then you have an entirely different problem to discuss. fopen() can create files if they don't exist. So if you open a file for writing, it will by default receive the user/group of the web server. If you then need to access the file as some other user, you run into this situation.
