If it is on a CD, copy it off to the HDD. In Windows Explorer, right 
click it, go to Properties, and un-tick the box marked "Read-Only."

We experienced this problem at my office. Even when the read-only attribute 
was not checked, the read-only error would still occur sometimes when we 
attempted to re-save CorelDraw X3 files.
In our case, we determined that if the following two conditions were true, 
then the read-only problem would occur, and would occur only with CorelDraw 
X3 files:
1. The file was stored on a compressed network drive.
2. The advanced file attribute regarding archiving was unchecked.
The archiving attribute on the files would get unchecked by our backup 
program after they had been backed up to tape. Once that attribute had been 
unchecked, opening the file and attempting to save it would result in the 
read-only error message.
We recently upgraded to a new network file server, and the drives on this 
one are not compressed, so the error message no longer occurs. Oddly enough 
though, if I manually uncheck the attribute, I can get the error to occur 
again, so the backup program must change the attribute in a different way 
than when I do it manually. Or it's possible that there is another factor 
involved that we haven't discovered yet.
The attached image shows where to find the archive attribute from the 
"Properties" dialog box. Next time you get a read-only error,
right-click on 
the file in Explorer (you can do this even if the file is currently open in 
Draw) and check the file properties to see if "Read-only" is checked.
If it 
isn't, then see if the archive attribute is checked. If it isn't, check it, 
choose okay for both dialog boxes to close them, then go back to Draw and 
attempt to save the file again. Does it save without giving you the error 
message?

When I want to save same file second time it says that file is read only and 
i must to save it to another name.
It happens only to corel files.

How I can fix this problem?
