The error message means you were trying to overwrite an existing file for which you had no write permission or were trying to save the diagram in a directory in which you had no write permission. That is usually not a yEd problem (permissions are enforced by the operating system). The solution is to save (as) the diagram in a directory for which you have write permissions.
