On a Windows web server you can not change the permissions via FTP, the 757 etc. numbers in FTP for permissions only work on a Unix web server.

You need to contact your hosting comapny to setup permissions for you to write to the database, but you may find that your web host already has a special 'Database' or 'Private' folder already setup for databases with the correct permissions applied.

For security reasons you should move the database to such a folder anyway, and follow the install intructions on how to setup the new database path in the forum.
