Indeed.

Also correct.

The source origin is built as a completely separate derivation, 
before Guix even starts to build your package, and long before 
your package's phases are called.

Snippets are (vaguely) like phases for your source derivation. 
This might work:

  (source …
    (modules '((guix build utils)))
    (snippet
     '(begin
       (for-each make-file-writable (find-files "."))
       #t)))

But…  I don't have access to Guix at the moment and am not 
positively certain in which order the snippet and patches field 
are applied.  Try it and let me know.

Kind regards,
