I suggest SuperGetInfo from Barebones Software (www.barebones.com).

But I will NOT debate, advocate, challenge, argue, disparage, promote,

You can make your own droplet to do this.  Save the following script
in Script Editor as an application (stay-open if you like) naming it
"755.app" and you can simply drop files onto its icon in the dock or
wherever to change the permissions:

        on open _filelist
          set _pathlist to "chmod 755 "
          repeat with _alias in _filelist as list
            set _path to quoted form of POSIX path of _alias
            set _pathlist to _pathlist & _path & space
          end repeat
          do shell script _pathlist
        end open

Actually, Interarchy can do it from a local file listing (useful if
you want to sort by kind and then select a bunch of files to change
all at once).

Generally I would just use the Terminal though.

Enjoy,
