chmod: changing permissions of file system
I'm having problems to execute file in my VMware folder, I tried changing permissions, but it does not change but give this error:
chmod: changing permissions of <filename> Read-only file system
I tried using chmod +x, chmod 777 and several others.
Still not able to run the file.
Please see image 
Note by Yaron: During the discussion in chat we understood that the read-only file system is a CD mounted to the VM.
18.04 permissions vmware chmod tar

The source of the problem is that you tried to write to a CD which is a read-only system.
You should first copy the file to a write-able folder (e.g. another folder in your VM which is located on HDD).
Afterwards if you want to extract filename.tar.gz file You can extract it using:
tar -xzvf filename.tar.gz
or by using:
tar xf filename.tar.gz
