File permissions can't be changed with chmod

Hello;
I would like to ask for advice on a file permissions problem using Parrot-Linux. I've had various issues with access because the OS runs on an SSD and my data is on a separate spinning disk drive. Because of the situation, I've learned more about chown/chmod. When that didn't solve the problem, a very skilled friend suggested the following:

sudo mount -o remount,rw '/media/username/882D-54D6'
Go to Disk Utility and unmount the disk. Then click on Check Filesystem if there are no problems remount the disk. After mounting the disk it should work correctly.

Recently I've found that a documents folder cannot be edited. I tried all of the above options and still cannot get access. Here is a segment of current permissions with ls -l

If you have ideas I would appreciate, if there is a particular term or method that I can research to learn more, that would also be great.latest?d=yIl2AUoC8zA latest?i=-rZu8hnXrN4:RNquKQVwJw8:F7zBnMy latest?i=-rZu8hnXrN4:RNquKQVwJw8:V_sGLiP latest?d=qj6IDK7rITs latest?i=-rZu8hnXrN4:RNquKQVwJw8:gIN9vFw-rZu8hnXrN4
