Solution 1

From a terminal, you may run 'sudo gedit'. This way, the editor runs with root privileges, and you can save files that otherwise would be read-only.
On the other hand, manually editing configuration files is pretty advanced stuff. It may be dangerous (all the way into rendering your machine unusable). Research the issue carefully before 'fixing' things!

Hope this helps,
Pablo.

I can't, so far I've never played with lilo.conf, only with less sensitive files (like wikipedia_lens.py).
Best wishes,
Pablo.
