3 methods are available:

setReadalble(boolean boolean)
setWritable(boolean,boolean)
setExecutable(boolean,boolean)

This will set the file to "0777"

String path = "SOME/PATH";

final File file = new File(path);
file.setReadable(true, false);
file.setExecutable(true, false);
file.setWritable(true, false);
