how can change my folder permissions? I also tried it as root but it did not work and I also cannot change the ownership.

root@darkmark:~# pwd
/root
root@darkmark:~# sudo chown -R darkmark '/home/darkmark/hs'
chown: changing ownership of '/home/darkmark/hs': Operation not permitted
root@darkmark:~# sudo chmod 755 '/home/darkmark/hs'
chmod: changing permissions of '/home/darkmark/hs': Operation not permitted
root@darkmark:~# _
