Hello Karim

How are you mounting the CIFS volume?

Note that if you are mounting it via gvfs there are some bugs that could
result in contents appearing as if read-only. See for instance 
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gvfs/-/issues/249
Not sure if that could be the case here, it's not clear how are those
"user mode" / "root mode" you were testing in.

Best regards
