You need to learn how to make apps and open up the apk file an reprogram it. Plus some features may stop working if you change permissions.

What permissions are you specifically trying to change?

Im following a guide on how i will make Google Play store app work on my
tablet that is not compatible with it. I must change the apk file with rw -r -r permissions. I don't know what they mean as i'm not a very experienced.

File permissions determine who has access to what files.
A file with permissions like yours:
The Group can only read.
Other or everyone else can only read the file.
There should be plenty of examples on the interwebs. Here's something to read from the Ubuntu documentation.

I think you may need root to change the permissions on the app and you will get the best advice int he General Tablet Talk forum. I have moved the thread for you. Good luck.
