You need to be "owner" in order to change permissions:
Role | Grants Permission To
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Owner | Create, read, modify, delete all items and files,
                   | create subfolders, and change permissions. All rights
                   | in the folder.
                   |
Publishing Editor | Create, read, modify, delete all items and files, and
                   | create subfolders.
                   |
Editor | Create, read, modify, and delete all items and files.
                   |
Publishing Author | Create, read items and files, modify, and delete items
                   | and files you create.
                   |
Author | Create, read items and files, modify, and delete items
                   | and files you create.
                   |
Non-Editing Author | Create, read items and files, and delete items and
                   | files you create.
                   |
Reviewer | Read items and files.
                   |
Contributor | Create items and files only. Contents do not appear.
                   |
None | No permissions on the folder.
