Can't view or copy to harddrive files from CDROM

Hello. I have a CDROM, just R not rewriteable, that I had put a whole lot of files on and I tried to view them but can't. I think the problem is that the files are 'read only'. I cannot change this though I have tried by right clicking the name and trying to untick the 'read only' box. It doesn't work.
I can't view the file no matter what type and I can't copy the files to my computer.
I think what happened is that I had copied the files to cdrom after loading them from a cdrom and that is how they became read only because I noticed that my files became read only if I copied them to my harddrive from cdrom. I must have copied them back to a cdrom later on and not realized the problem.
I'd really like access to these files. Many are picture files that exsist on no other of my cdrom's.
