If your file system is readonly, usually there is a reason like a file
system issue.

If you are in single-user mode, you can change this with the following command:
mount -o rw,remount /
but before doing that I would recommend figuring out why your file
system is mounted as ro.

If the file is read-only for your non-root user, try sudo.
