Hello matthew,

-Wine cannot run all Windows executable files.
-To change the permission to execute the file you should have administrator permissions in your system.
- To change it in terminal use,

       sudo chmod 755 executable_file.exe

where executable_file.exe is to replaced by the name of the executable file you want to change the permissions.
When you enter the above command in the terminal you will be prompted for a password. You have to enter your password(if you are the only user of the Ubuntu ). The password will not show up on the terminal for security reasons.

Search for an alternate program in Ubuntu.
Or
Install a virtual machine software like Sun Virtual Box and inside that software you can install Windows OS and run your favourite softwares of Windows.
