It's unwritable by anyone other the owner of the file.

If you're using a recent snapshot, setting "ntsec" in your CYGWIN
variable may cause chmod to work correctly. (I say "may" because I
really don't know. I don't run NT.) Historically, chmod returns
without error on Cygwin but does nothing.

You (UID 1000) don't own the file, UID 544 (administrator) owns
it. (I guess you already knew that. :-)
You need to login as administrator or wait for someone else to
provide information on how to enable ntsec and Unix permissions.
