When trying to move or delete a folder get the following error message
"The operation can’t be completed because you don’t have permission to access some of the items."
Since I'm the only user of the computer, how does one change permissions?
Where did you create them?
If inside your Home folder, then you do have a problem.
This may help: Resolve issues caused by changing the permissions of items in your home folder - Apple Support
If somewhere else, you may or may not have a problem.

You don't. Anything protected in that way should not be deleted. Users are only able to delete items located in their user account.
Before we can help, if indeed we can, you would have to let us know what you are trying to delete and where it is located. Why do want to delete the items in question?
In Finder do a Get Info on one of those folders, unlock the lock, add your user or change it to Read & Write if it isn't already, then click on the little gear & choose Apply to enclosed items...
These are folder(s) that I have created to hold documents, records, etc. Now I can't rearrange, move or delete - what with that?
