If you are using vi or vim to edit the file, I believe putting a ! after the 
command to save the file (do this as the root user or use sudo) will save it.
So instead of :wq in vi, use :wq!

Another way of saving the file is to do (as root)

chmod u+w /etc/inetd.conf

before you edit the file

or 

chmod 600 /etc/inetd.conf

There are many UNIX resources online as well as books that can be useful to 
you in learning UNIX commands.
