I believe the correct answer is ":wq!" to save and quit even if the file is read-only.

I’m a bit confused; I thought ":wq" just saves normally. Does the exclamation mark make a difference?

Aha, I think I've got it! The "wq!" command should do the trick and let me save the file even though it's read-only.
