When the permissions start with an l then it means that it is a link (either symbolic or hard) which is basically a pointer to another file. Links should always be 777 (owning user, owning group, and anyone on the system have read, write and execute permissions on it) since the actual/effective permissions are on what the link is pointing to.

So... chmod a+rwx /path/to/the/link or chmod 777 /path/to/the/link

The ones that should be "user 0" or "group 0" mean that the owning user or group should be root (or wheel or whatever OS X calls the superuser account)
