I'm trying to edit a few system files but don't have permission to overwrite them - can someone tell me how to log in with full access (read/write) to the system files?

try typing "su" in konsole
You would also probably have to change your HD read/write status by right-clicking on it and choosing that option
From the Start->Knoppix menu, click on Root Console.
It's all in the documentation for your reading pleasure.
Alternatively, the user "knoppix" has sudo permission.
In other words, preface your editing command with "sudo"
I.E. sudo vi {filename}
That should also work.
