Samba mount with fmask 664, ro files still exist.

[Alexey Fadyushin]

No, it is not possible to override Windows permissions from Linux. 
Actually, both Linux machine and Windows machine will check file 
permissions before allowing write operation to proceed. These checks are 
completely independent. Even if you would override the permissions on 
Linux and Linux machine would allow write operation, the Windows machine 
would reject the write operation.
If you want to write in those files you must make them writable on 
Windows (and on Linux, of course).
