Check your typing again.  If you type:

sudo echo "nameserver 208.67.222.222" >/etc/resolv.conf

you definitely should be able to change /etc/resolv.conf.

You also didn't answer my first question, which was what was the
contents of your current resolv.conf file (now renamed
/etc/resolv.conf.bak if you did the first of the two steps I
suggested).  Knowing the current contents might have helped us confirm
the diagnosis.
