It's probably _not_ "owner rights" that are upsetting your attempts to save the image (back over itself.) Files copied from a CDROM are marked as Read-Only -- because - Taa!-Daa! - files on a CDROM are _not_ writeable. When you copy them down to your hard-drive they are marked r-xr-xr-x (or, for you winderz users: the attributes are set to R/O.) Just chmod the file to 600 (or, ATTRIB -R .) "Owner Rights" are something else entirely -- a whole separate topic.
