There's a GUI for copying files and changing permissions, so I'd like to use it. How can I change directory read/write permissions in the GUI and use the GUI's 'Copy to' function? Thank you for the help. :)

Related but not a dupe: How to access and copy files from an old/other Ubuntu system's partition?, Recovering user files with a Live CD Note that those answers should maybe be updated, but it's not obvious how or even that they should. Newer Ubuntu systems don't ship with thegksuorgksudo, but several official derivatives still have them.sudo -Hremains available. The main issue is how running GUI programs as root is increasingly unpopular and requires extra effort on new Ubuntu systems that default to Wayland.

You can copy files within the GUI using the Nautilus file manager (now called "Files") built into Ubuntu.
As far as using a GUI to change file permissions the only program I've found is called Eiciel. I've never used the program and can not vouch for it.
Here's a screenshot from the Developer's page:
