blender

I'm using blender 2.69, installed via software centre, and when I save my user preference through File -> User Preferences and click on "Save User Settings" there is a message

"cannot open file /home/ganez/.config/blender/2.69/config/userpref.blend@ for writing permission denied"

I have checked to the path /home/ganez/.config/blender/2.69/config/ and there is no userpref.blend file present.

PS: I think this has something to do with file permission for that config folder and I have no idea on how to use the chmod command. So any advise?

Thank you in advance.
