Answer 1

On linux:

Once you copy, you can run chmod again

chmod -R 777 <dir>

Answer 2

If your Windows version allows it, use the standard Windows file permission interface under Properties → Security and grant "Read", "Write" and "Execute" (or simply "Full control") permissions to all items listed. (There should be three; the owner, the group, and "Everyone"). Samba will automatically translate them to Unix permissions or to POSIX ACLs.

A command-line method, one that only works for setting 0777, is cacls myfile /g Everyone:F.
