You have to make yourself the owner of those files. That's a simple
windows file system problem you have here, nothing specifically about svn.
log in as an admin, right-click on your svn folders, choose properties
from the explorer context menu, go to the securities tab.
Then add the user as which you usually log on, then give that user full
access to those files.
