Unless you have formatted your CDRW for packet writing, then yes, it will be Read only.

Just one of the dangers of saving directly to or opening directly from a disk.
Best practice is to save to HDD first then copy to CD. Same way coming back. Can you copy it to HDD and is it still read-only? Can you remove the read-only property through Windows Explorer? You may have to copy the sheets to a new workbook and save that. To HDD, of course.
