Just use chmod u+w [file] to give the user write access; chmod a-r [file] to take read access away from 'all' (third group) and chmod +x [file] to make a file executable. You have u, g, and a, and can do + or - r, w, x.
No counting. Easy.
The next important thing is: chown [user] [file] and then chgrp [user] [file]
And the most important command line command: man man chmod man chgrp man chown
