That'd be 0 (sticky bit, you can pretty much ignore this one), 7 (read/write/execute for user), 5 (read and execute for group), and 0 (allow nothing for other users who aren't in your group). Use chmod to change them. It works out to: 4 Read 2 Write 1 Execute So, 4+2+1=7, for 'read/write/execute', or '4+1=5' for 'read/execute'. To change a file to 0750, you'd do 'chmod 0750 filename'. You can also do more readable versions: chmod u+r filename will add read permissions for users to filename. Also works with -r (remove read), or +w/-w to add or remove write, and +x/-x to add or remove execute. Use u for user, g for group, o for everyone else, and a for all three. Hope this is helpful.
