It sounds like your application is running in partial trust. To use a FileStream, you'll need to request elevated trust:

By default, Silverlight-based applications run in partial trust, which means they run within a security sandbox. Sandboxed applications have restricted access to the local computer and are constrained in other ways that help prevent malicious behavior.

From the Silverlight 4 FileStream documentation (emphasis mine):

When it is called by an elevated-trust application, exposes a Stream around a file, supporting both synchronous and asynchronous read and write operations.

EDIT: You can set an application to require elevated trust by setting the "Require elevated trust when running outside the browser" in your Silverlight project settings.
