File permission information is not stored in the database. That is something 
that is at the file level.

You have two issues to check here: 1) the owner and group of the file, and 2) 
the permissions of the file.  If the file's owner and/or group have write 
permission, but isn't the same owner and/or group that the webserver is 
running as, then your file won't get updated.

A couple of other things to consider are that files _and_directories_ need to 
have the proper permissions set, and while a permission level of 0660 (that 
gives the owner & the group read & write access) should be adequate, you 
could have the directory and files set to 0777 (that gives everyone [owner, 
group & other] full access [read, write & execute]) just to verify if that is 
actually the problem or not.
