unable to toggle read-only mode in emacs
I am using emacs-live as my emacs starter config. I have .jade files which when opened in emacs say Buffer is read only.
However these same files I am able to edit in Sublime Text.
I tried toggling the read only by C-xC-q to no effect.
How do I resolve it ?

File permissions shouldn't prevent Emacs from allowing you to toggle the read-only state of an associated buffer.
Can you try M-x toggle-read-only RET instead, to check whether it's the function or just the key binding that isn't working?
I'm assuming that C-xC-q is working in general for other buffers?
