I'm a little confused as to what this permission means. Could someone break it down for me?

-rw-r--r-- 1 john john 38 Oct4 21:14 testfile

And if I wanted to execute my test file I would type something like this chmod 733 testfile

Does this mean only john can write to the testfile?

This permission means the owner (in this case john) has read/write permissions and the group and everyone else has only read permissions.
