Time and Date wrong

[Judy & Lindsay Roberts]

OK.  I see what to do on the site.
I found the file and loaded it into Gedit but I see it is Read Only.   As I
have only loaded Linux (Ubuntu) for the very first time 12 hours ago, I do
not know how to change a file to be readable, or where to start in putting
such a command.  I am the only user of the system.   I see a lot of # and $
signs given with commands on the list from time to time, but I still cant
make out what to do with them.
some ABC's for a newbie please!
