Change to read only the "Hosts" file get an error, that you have not permission to save in this location

Original title: change read only document___

In Windows7 Home 64 bit, I'm editing a document "Hosts" in System32 > drivers > etc >

It comes up with "you don't have permission to save in this location...".

 

I am registered as an administrator and I can't seem to change the blue box 'read only '.

 

I went to the command line using "attrib" but the answer is "no recognized internal or external command".

 

Help!
