How to write to files on OS (F8) that won't boot

I've tried every incantion I can think of to write to F8's filesystem using 
Knoppix. I can read the files, can make changes to the files, but can't save 
the changes. Always permission denied.

I have been able to do this before, but time has past, and along with getting 
a bit old, the truth is I'm really stuck.

Would someone be kind enough to tell me how to get write access to an 
unbootable distro's filesystem, using Knoppix for example.

Many thanks in advance for any help with this problem.

Nigel.
