if you do below, you will able to modify /mnt/hdb6/boot/grub/menu.lst
1- mount /dev/hdb6 /mnt/hdb6
2- Right click on the hdb6 icon (my case).
3- Click on "Actions"
4- Change the read/write permissions to writeable.
You meant I have to issue ls -al to see the permission for the file,,,then to change the permission I have to type in:Could you please explain ,what should I do to check and how can I mount it again?
chmod +w /mnt/hdb6/boot/grub/menu.lst or chmod +w /mnt/hdb6/boot/grub/menu.lst,,,,,,,,didn't you ?

What I do is :
open shell/console
'su' to root
'mc' to open midnight commander
change to /mnt/hdb6........etc using keyboard/mouse
select menu.lst (ie highlight it)
press 'F4' to edit (but beware.....changing the wrong thing can make your system unusable, don't blame me if you do)
I will try your suggestion and let you know
