Wait a sec is that the iso image in which you are trying to change the permission. What pwd (present working directory) says. I hope you have extracted the contents of iso to some other location and then changing the permission not on the iso image itself (ofcourse by mistake).

What do you mean?
Im trying to run a shellscript that is located at my harddrive?
It's seems like I can't change the permissons on the files that is located at my mounted harddrive.
If I drag the folder from my mounted hardrive, to my Desktop, the Permission works fine.
Ah, is that hard drive format NTFS because if that is the case then the permission wouldn't work. Also check the output of mount -a command and paste the output here.

Yes, It was NTFS that was the problem. I solved it by adding this to my fstab:
# change the "UUID" to your partition UUID
UUID=12102C02102CEB83 /media/windows ntfs-3g auto,users,permissions 0 0
That was not my point, my point was if file system is not mounted with support for execute permission then though your files have execute permission it will simply deny/reject that.
