Can't change permissions

Well basically, i found some software which can sort your videos an
rename them properly according to imdb blah blah blah not important, an
there's a feature that will sort the files into their own folders. i.
make a new folder named after the file and move the file in to it

but it stopped working, and i've got it into my head that it's to d
with permissions. i dont have modify rights of the folder that th
videos are stored in and when i try to change it to let me modify i
says access denied. but some of the folders inside that folder hav
modify allowed and others don't. this is on an external drive, but i ca
sort the files into folders when the files are on my laptop
