Hm, sounds like an FAQ to me.  Did you look at the FAQ, specifically the 
entry:

Why doesn't chmod work?
http://www.cygwin.com/faq/faq_4.html#SEC44

?

If not, you may want to review this and any other related FAQ entry.  If 
these don't help and you don't see anything useful in other documentation
(User's Guide, mail archives, etc.), you'll need to provide some more 
specifics about your case to the list.
