How to 'chmod' on an NTFS ( or FAT32 ) partition?

I am trying to change the file/directory permission. But it is not changing either through using command line or GUI.

This fil/dir is present in one of the partition in external harddisk which is in NTFS file format. Dees that make any difference?

Any help how could I modify the permissions in this case.

Thanks!
