Mine actually seems to work now:
[vlastyn AT sundown:~] touch example_file
[vlastyn AT sundown:~] ls -la example_file
   0 -rw-r--r--    1 vlastyn  None            0 Oct  5 10:49 example_file
[vlastyn AT sundown:~] chown system.system example_file
[vlastyn AT sundown:~] ls -la example_file
   0 -rw-r--r--    1 SYSTEM   SYSTEM          0 Oct  5 10:47 example_file
[vlastyn AT sundown:~] chmod 777 example_file
[vlastyn AT sundown:~] ls -al example_file
   0 -rwxrwxrwx    1 SYSTEM   SYSTEM          0 Oct  5 10:47 example_file*
[vlastyn AT sundown:~] chmod 000 example_file
[vlastyn AT sundown:~] ls -la example_file
   0 ----------    1 SYSTEM   SYSTEM          0 Oct  5 10:47 example_file
[vlastyn AT sundown:~] rm example_file
rm: remove write-protected file `example_file'? y
[vlastyn AT sundown:~]

I wonder why it isn't working for you?  I set CYGWIN=ntsec in my shell
and as an environment variable in Windows 2000.  Had to reboot for the
latter to take effect...
