Time to learn some Unix basics :)

You have permission to write to the directory, so you can delete files
in there.  This means that you can just make a copy of the file, adjust
permissions and overwrite the original.  Try

cp CSEUvec.dll CSEUvec.dll.bak
chgrp ftp CSEUvec.dll.bak
chmod 664 CSEUvec.dll.bak
mv CSEUvec.dll.bak CSEUvec.dll
