You can set each of your users, that are in the "Sharing & Permissions" section of the "Get Info" window, to "Read & Write."  You should have your user name in there along with "Wheel" and "Everyone."  If not, simply press the + sign to add them. 

***If you receive an error message that you do not have permission to change the permissions, please go to Go>Utilities>Terminal to open the Terminal utility.  You can then paste in the following terminal command and press "enter" on your computer keyboard.
