Default read only file-need to write

I've rec'd a read only excel file on my pc which I need to copy to a CD-RW
and then take to a meeting with my laptop and add info to it and save. Then
someone else will take the CD-RW w/saved info and manipulate it on their own
PC. I do not have email/online on my laptop. The file says read only. Copied
it to my CD as write. But still when I get it to the CD-RW it ends up read
only. I can add material but it won't change it or allow it to be saved
w/another name. What am I doing wrong? How can I accomplish what I need to
do. I need to do it tonight at 7pm CA/USA time.
