Sounds like a permissions problem to me. Your user doesn't have permissions to edit the file.
ls -l /usr/src/linux/drivers/parport/share.c
To see who does.
Probably root owns it and the src group. If that is the case then add your user to the src group and try again.
# adduser christina src
logout then back in to escalate privileges.
The rest of the instructions look pretty detailed to me up until you need to set your system up to load the modules automatically. Once you can load the modules manually come back and ask again.
Because that is a whole other can of worms.
