Note that you need to set a specific variable for WDired to work. Also include instructions for loading dired-x.

Sep 3, 2021 at 17:36 comment added josaphatv dired-x is very handy. Turn it on by adding to your init file: (add-hook 'dired-load-hook (function (lambda () (load "dired-x")))). In order to be able to edit the file perms in WDired, you also need to set (setq wdired-allow-to-change-permissions t). Then you should be able to directly edit the permissions fields.
