If you're asking how to avoid the issue in the first place then that's not a programming issue. If the folder is read-only then of course trying to write to it is an issue. Whether it's expected behaviour or not, what happens when you perform an action manually through the OS has nothing to do with programming.
If you're asking how to catch the exception that is thrown then I would assume that that would be the same way that you catch any other exception.
