It is a textfile, so it does not have or need a executeable bit.
You can open it with a texteditor of your choice.
vi(m) or emacs are very powerful, but probably need some time to get used to.
For a start, you could use nano or pico
nano -w /etc/sudoers
There is also the specialized command visudo:

Yes, it is a small text editor.
If it is not yet installed, then you can do so (on redhat/centos/fedora/redhat based linux distros) with
Code:yum install nano
