Hi!
 If you REALLY want to use your windows-based editors to edit Linux root owned files, the only possibility is to use the chown/chmod commands as root (or use some form of permission control GUI) and set the permissions for these files to be able to read/write them as a regular user.

 However, if you are using Linux regularly, I strongly encourage you to learn any of the Linux text editors and use it instead of the windows ones.
