Don't use the -a option if you don't want to preserve the permissions.

From the man page:

-a, --archive               archive mode, equivalent to -rlptgoD

And now a breakdown of each option from the man page (you can use what
you need then)

-r, --recursive             recurse into directories
-l, --links                 copy symlinks as symlinks
-p, --perms                 preserve permissions
-t, --times                 preserve times
-g, --group                 preserve group
-o, --owner                 preserve owner (root only)
-D, --devices               preserve devices (root only)

HTH.
