    use 

    `sudo chmod 755 /path/your/folder`

    provide your password

    or use this for assigning permissions recursively for sub directories. 

    sudo chmod -R 755 /pat/your/folder

    or open nautilus with permission by

    sudo nautilus

    and go to your desired folder ,right click on it and finally change its permissions as per your need.

    to see permission allowed use

    ls -l

    it will show permissions of all the folders in Working Directory.

  2. Use 

    sudo chmod 755 /var/www/

    sudo gives you administrative permission as /var is under root directory.
