What's the problem with C-x C-q?
,----[ C-h f dired-toggle-read-only RET ]
| dired-toggle-read-only is an interactive compiled Lisp function in
| `dired.el'.
|
| (dired-toggle-read-only)
|
| Edit dired buffer with Wdired, or set it read-only.
| Call `wdired-change-to-wdired-mode' in dired buffers whose editing is
| supported by Wdired (the major mode of the dired buffer is `dired-mode').
| Otherwise, for buffers inheriting from dired-mode, call `toggle-read-only'.
