Hi.  I am the one who requested those files.  You are restricted from
writing to those files unless you use sudo (terminal) or gksudo (GNOME).
But you shouldn't be restricted from reading or copying them as long as
you have permission to write to your USB stick, and you should, since it
is mounted by GNOME running as the logged-in user.

Can you go into /etc in GNOME?  If so, can you go into the
speech-dispatcher directory from there?  It should be a simple
copy-and-paste procedure from there.

If not, go into the terminal and

cd /etc/speech-dispatcher
cp speechd.conf modules/espeak-generic.conf /mountpoint/of/usb/stick

and the files should copy with no problem.  Of course replace
/mountpoint/of/usb/stick with the actual place where your USB stick is
mounted.

HTH,
Lorenzo-- 
I've always found anomalies to be very relaxing. It's a curse.
