For a bit of extra explanation...
"sudo" is "super-user do". It tells the all-powerful super-user account ("root") to do stuff.
"chmod" is change file mode. "o+rw" gives write and read permission to other users (which means users who aren't the owner user or in the owner group). "-R" makes it recursive (applies to things inside named directory).
You can also change the owner user with "chown": chown username /path/to/file
or change the group with "chgrp": chgrp groupname /path/to/file
The -R option works with chown and chgrp too.

I would use "sudo" in the terminal:
- Open a terminal window (in /Applications/Utilities/)
- type "sudo chmod -R o+rw " (make sure you type the space at the end) then drag the problem folder into the terminal window (its path should be added to the end of the command.
- Press return.
- Type your normal password (nothing visible happens - don't panic!)
That should give all users read and write permission on the folder and everything inside it.
