What do you mean with "you need to be a level #1"? If you select "root" 
in recovery mode, you are at a root shell where you can type the given 
command. Then the root file system will be remounted rw (if possible). 
There is no special skill needed (except knowing the command). Another 
option to get the root file system remounted rw would be to choose the 
option "network", where you will be warned that the root file system 
will get remounted rw and other file systems will get mounted also 
according to /etc/fstab.
