First, you can do it using GUI method. It's good enough if you want to 
change permissions on one directory. In Nautilus right click on desired 
directory and select Properties from a menu. Then click on Permissions 
tab and set the desired permissions.

If you want to do it from the command line, and you need to change 
permissions on one directory only, open terminal and execute 

`chmod -v permission_type directory_name`

In case the directory in question has sub directories and you want new 
permissions to be applied to all of them, execute in terminal

`find /home/user_name/desired_directory -type d | while read var1; do 
chmod -v permission_type "$var1"; done`

You can also set some desired permissions to all files inside of the 
directories in question by executing then

`find /home/user_name/desired_directory -type f | while read var1; do 
chmod -v permission_type "$var1"; done`

About permissions type read `man chmod`.
