[TriLUG] Messed Up Bash.Bashrc

[Grawburg]

Thinkpad T40, Debian 6.0.6

As root, in a shell, I can do nothing with the file. Permission is not granted.
Is there no way to use gedit from GNOME was the root user (the owner of the file)?

I tried to boot with a LiveDVD of Mint Linux and Scientific Linux but once it goes through the countdown it just sits there.
It seems like the only choice I'm going to have it start all over again and reinstall Debian 6.
