I don't think you can pass a parameter to XDocument.Save to control the permissions but you should be able to set them after the save. Something like the following should do:

System.Security.AccessControl.FileSecurity fsec = System.IO.File.GetAccessControl(fileName);
fsec.AddAccessRule( new System.Security.AccessControl.FileSystemAccessRule("Everyone", System.Security.AccessControl.FileSystemRights.Modify, System.Security.AccessControl.AccessControlType.Allow));
System.IO.File.SetAccessControl(fileName, fsec);
