I'm almost certain you're barking up the wrong tree, and that the file is RW. But until I see your code, I can't be sure as there are dozens of possible explanations. I'm not going to try to guess which one it is only to be told each time it "is not making any difference". I'd be very surprised (and very interested) if I couldn't solve this for you, but I need to see the code and the failure. If you can post a SSCCE (http://sscce.org/ https://web.archive.org/web/20160926072757/http://sscce.org), you will probably have a solution very quickly.
