Need some context here, methinks to make much sense of this question.
The ability to write in a directory isn't a Matlab property; it's dependent solely upon your installation and administrator-set rights to have access to any particular drive/directory/subdirectory (to use Windows nomenclature since you gave no hints).
Look at the various information in the Matlab documentation beginning with
doc path
doc pathtool
The path tool is available as a "Set Path" icon on the toolbar...

In Windows you can't write to file if it's under the Program Files folder or subfolders. There are also certain other folders that you can't use, like c:\users (but some subfolders of that are okay). Just make sure you specify a folder that you can write to.
