Try to run nautilus as root

On a desktop

Press ALT+F2 (that will be small window appear)
type
gksudo nautilus
give your user password if asked ...

try to write the other two folders, if can, you can change the folder permission by right click and set properties ....

There is other way to set ownership permissions, if you want to change a folder and all of it's subfolder to 777 (this the explanation https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions#chmod%20with%20Numbers) an put -R at the end

For example, i want to change permissions in folder Home and all of subfolder i type this in terminal ..

sudo chmod 777 /home -R

Hope this help
