I think you'll need server root access for that (or ask the host to do that
for you).
Most control panels allow changing permissions on directories, but AFAIK not
on single files.

Yeah - I understand. The question really is "how can I modify the
permissions on a file in Windows, similar to the way I can with *nix"?

You can't. chmod is *nix only.
