You can run:

gksudo nautilus $HOME

to run the GUI file manager as root, or you can prefix your cp command with sudo to make it run as root too. You don't need to change any permissions.

Thanks.

Now I can copy and paste phpinfo.php to /var/www/

The other problem is when I make php file use the Text Editor, it cannot be save directly. I save in other folder than copy and paste in to var/www/ -- is there way to save direct to /var/www/ ?

gksudo gedit

or

gksudo gedit /path/to/somefile

and you will have full access.
