Changing file ownership

when I try to configure Wvdial following this page http://support.real-time.com/linux/dialup/wvdial.html recommendations and try to modify the wvdial.conf file, I'm denied the right to do so because I don't have ownership to the file.
What should I do in order to take ownership,modify the file and save it to be able to dial up from console
