Can use PowerShell for this.

This should do what you're after:

$Path = "C:\ProgramData\Adobe\Slstore"
$Acl = Get-Acl $Path

$AccessRule = New-Object system.security.accesscontrol.filesystemaccessrule("Everyone","Modify","Allow")
$Acl.SetAccessRule($AccessRule)

Set-Acl $Path $Acl

Basically it gets the access control list (list of permissions) for the folder into the $Acl object.
It then creates a new access rule which is added to the list.
The new list is then applied to the orginal folder so you should get everything you had before plus the new access rule.

I'd probably go the PoSh route as above but if it has to be done in CMD then look at 'cacls' (pre-Vista) or icacls (post-Vista).
