you've answered your own question? That file is read-only - you need to add write permissions.
Changing Permissions
Hi Mano,
You can usually use your FTP client (I like FileZilla) to change the permissions on the file.
Check both the file (try setting to 644, or rw-r--r--) and if that doesn't work try 666 or rw-rw-rw-
You might need to check the permissions on the directory as well. When you finished setting it up the first choice for permissions is:
default directory - r-x------
settings.php - r--------
If your host doesn't like that you might need:
default r-xr-xr-x
settings.php r--r--r--

Do you have shell access? Or do you need to use your FTP client to do it?

logo uploading
when i am uploading logo i am getting an error message as
* The directory files does not exist.
* The selected file /tmp/tmp_UKVlZO could not be uploaded, because the destination files/logo.jpg is not properly configured.
* The settings have not been saved because of the errors.
/files
Go here, look about halfway down the page for the section beginning "File System"
http://drupal.org/getting-started/5/install/configure
It should apply (somewhat closely) to 6.2 but feel free to look at the D6 install docs as well if needed.
