Yes. Copy it to the HDD of another PC and then remove the Read Only
attribute through Windows Explorer.

But as the others have said - always save to your HDD first and then burn to
CD. Writing direct to CD using packet writing is just about guaranteed to
break a Word document and it will always have a Read Only attribute.
