Even if no one has access to a file, the OWNER of a file always has permission to edit the permissions (permission to edit permissions can also be explicitly assigned to other users).  Every file has an owner, so there is always SOMEONE who should be able to edit the permissions on the file and assign the correct rights.

A system administrator can take ownership of an object, and can THEN set the permissions.

Hope that helps,
