Cannot set time on read-only file (Win2k)

I noticed this problem when mirroring off Unix site - if file is read-only,
time cannot be set. This of course confuses mirror a bit (why I had to mirror
under Cygwin is another sad story :-)
mw1g017@MW1G17C% ll ld-linux.so.2
-r-xr-xr-x 1 mw1g017 ITS 87036 Apr 18 10:19 ld-linux.so.2*
mw1g017@MW1G17C% touch ld-linux.so.2
touch: ld-linux.so.2: Permission denied
mw1g017@MW1G17C% chmod u+w ld-linux.so.2
mw1g017@MW1G17C% touch ld-linux.so.2
This is somewhat unexpected and does not correspond to Unix. Is it possible to
change it or is it Windows restriction?
System is WIn2kSP1, cygwin-1.3.1
TIA
