The following website was brought to my attention:

Although, it is not the most elegant solution (the best solution being
a Microsoft fix for this issue). If you run Excel, or any Office
application in Windows XP SP2 compatibility mode, you will be granted
"Write Access" to the file on your webdav.
You can do this by accessing the application in C:\Program Files
\Microsoft Office\Office12.
1.) Right Click on the Application (ie. excel.exe)
2.) Click "Properties"
3.) Click the "Compatibility" Tab
4.) (if you're an administrator) click "show settings for all users"
button
5.) Check "Run this program in compatibility mode for" and select
Windows XP (Service Pack 2)
6.) Apply the changes.
Now you should be able to open your file on the webdav server with
write access.
