To change permission of a file, you can use chmod:

sudo chmod +x filename.ext

To see more of chmod:

man chmod

To do an upgrade, you use:

sudo do-release-upgrade

Download and burn the latest alternate iso and use that to upgrade your current Ubuntu version.

Offline upgrade works with 'Alternate CD'.

AptonCD isn't recommended for dist-upgrade. It's meant for usage of local repos.

Download Natty 11.04 CD, boot on it, and choose "Upgrade" choice. Now Ubuntu has an option to upgrade existing operating system.

Can you help with this problem?
