It's an permission issue. Actually it is not a issue but a security. You do not want anyone can edit these files. Only root can.

ls -l /usr/local/vesta/web
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 xxx x xx:xx images

So how would i get access to change the files or the file owner

Login as root or ssh and use sudo
