How to get Acces to make a SNMP set query? ((No access) exception )

I am trying to make snmp set query in java to a Linux machine, whenever I make the query I get

 No Access to 127.0.0.1 6 (No access)</exception>

I am really curious about why I can not have an access, do I need to be root to make snmp set query ? Or if you know how I can access to localhost to make this query , can you please help me ?

By the way my Variable consists of 1.3.6.1.4.1 and sysDescr

Thank you all

Every SNMP agent has an address book of all its objects, called the MIB or Management Information Base. The MIB provides the name, OID, data type, read/write permissions, and a brief description for each object in an SNMP agent. So, if the OID is of read-only, then you can't update value of that OID and sysDescr OID is read-only.
For example, see here.
