Permissions problem

2018 Mac Mini (Macmini8,1) 3.6 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i3 MacOS 13.6 Ventura My internal Macintosh HD Get Info says I can only read. Obviously this is not correct, because I do read and write to the drive all the time. Permissions: system Read & Write; wheel Read Only; everyone Read Only. When I try to change them to Read & Write, or add users, I get an error message saying The operation can’t be completed because you don’t have the necessary permission. What is going on, and how can I fix this problem?

Mac mini, macOS 13.6

The overall Drive is not ours to use anymore, Apple is closing up security problems, Your Home Folder is where you need to write to only, or external drive.
