The file permissions control access to the contents of the file.
The directory permissions control access to the contents of the directory.
A "directory" is really just a special kind of file; one that contains a list of the other files "in" it. If you have permission to alter this list, then you can add, delete, or rename a file, even if you don't have permission to access its contents (and vice-versa).
