I found a solution on the Adobe Forums:

For Read Only files, go to Windows Explorer, and Select those files. Rt-click on them, and choose Properties. Near the bottom will be Attributes. Is Read Only checked? If they are Read Only (and not locked due to permissions, etc.), if you uncheck that, then the files will no longer be Read Only.

Let me know if this works!

Have you moved the images to your computer yet, or are they still on the CD?

So I burned NEF files onto a CDR for archival purposes. Is there something that I need to select before I burn?

It's been ages since I've used a CD for anything but music, but I *believe* you cannot just edit a file that is on a CD. 

I do believe Damien uses (or use to use) CDs for archiving, so I'll let him answer that one.
