Find the file in Windows Explorer, and modifying the properties of it by turning off the Read-Only flag.

This is not recommended though as Visual Studio will not block you from modifying the file, nor will it check it in when you do perform a code check in.

One way for Visual Studio to detect the file change is when your TFS connection is brought Online from an Offline state and the wizard runs looking for non Read-Only files in the solution, then marks those files as checked out.

There's a setting in Tools | Options | Source Control | Environment that controls automatic checkout of edited files
