This has to do with file/directory permissions. chmod is the command to change them, 777 indicates that the dir/file in question is read/write/execute for everyone and everything.

How you go about doing this specifically depends on your host/tools. If your host uses cpanel you can use the file manager or even easier nowadays you can use many ftp programs.

Although this is a simple safe change overall file permissions (who can read/write/execute what) are instrumental to site security so in general you should not be mucking around with them if you don't understand. Beyond something simple like this get real life assistance.
