rmdir won't work.

I copied my files to a CD before switching to Linux
and after I erased everything I put the files back on,
but in a write-protected file (did it automatically).
After that, I had the "brilliant" idea of just copying
the directories and files inside it thinking that they
wouldn't be write-protected (for some odd reason). Now
I realize that they all are write-protected and even
the rmdir commands and rmdir -r [directory] commands
work, I've tried all of the combinations and it says
Permission  denied. This also coincides with another
problem, the computer thinks that the CDs are being
used by Fedora it took a little while and I figured
out how to eject the CDs in a roundabout fashion. Will
you tell me anything that will help me delete these
directories? Refered to this e-mail address when
entered [rmdir --help]

If you can help, I'd love you. Bye.

-John
