Several ways to change the read/write/execution bits. I use this one.

    chmod 755 [script]

which will change a file from this:

    froller at metis:~$ ls -l example
    -rw-r--r-- 1 froller froller 0 2009-09-14 10:08 example
         ^
to

    froller at metis:~$ ls -l example
    -rwxr-xr-x 1 froller froller 0 2009-09-14 10:08 example
        ^

Making the file executable for all.  Read the man page on chmod:

    man chmod

And this will get you started on understanding these bits.
