Please provide more information like "ls -l filename" and "id" output, the command you run to change the file and the error message you got.

the file / etc / hosts when I do not let me change save file says I read only and the owner is root

Assuming you are using vi as root, use the ":w!" command to save that file.

You are welcome. Vi is enforcing file permissions even while root isn't restricted to them. the vi "!" command suffix allows to overcome these restrictions.
