  the man page for chattr ( % man chattr ) shows the
following
 
---------------------------------------------------------------
  NAME
       chattr - change file attributes on a Linux
second extended
       file system
 
  SYNOPSIS
       chattr [ -RV ] [ -v version ] [ mode ] files...
 
  DESCRIPTION
       chattr changes the  file  attributes  on  a 
Linux  second
       extended file system.
 
       The format of a symbolic mode is +-=[ASacdisu].
 
       The  operator  `+'  causes  the  selected
attributes to be
       added to the existing attributes of the files;
`-'  causes
       them  to  be  removed;  and `=' causes them to
be the only
       attributes that the files have.
 
       The letters `ASacdisu' select the new
attributes  for  the
       files:  don't  update  atime (A), synchronous
updates (S),
       append only (a), compressed (c), immutable 
(i),  no  dump
       (d), secure deletion (s), and undeletable (u).
 
---------------------------------------------------------------

  the last paragraph tells the mode options...

  so,
  if your disk is _not_ mounted read-only
  (which someone else mentioned as a possible cause...)

  use something like

  % chattr -i <file-name>

  where '%' just indicates being at the shell prompt
