I went into the rules file on my civ2 disc and created a new unit according to the way it said to and when i went to save it kept telling me im not athourized to open this file.

how do i get around this?

It sounds as if you are trying to change the file on your CD - this is a read only medium and therefore you cannot do this.

Simply change the file in your Civ2 directory on your hard drive ...
