[p4] Modifying permissions for checked out files

[Stephen Vance]

Are you syncing from cygwin or from a Windows app? If from cygwin, try 
changing your umask. I don't know the interactions for this between 
cygwin and Windows, but that's the standard answer for Unix/Linux. 
Otherwise, I'd dig into cygwin documentation to find out how the 
Unix-style permissions are derived from the Windows permissions. There 
may be a group membership you need to set or something.
