Suddenly all my file permission aren't writable in the Joomla directory. Furthermore, when I go to delete old files or overwrite them, I get a varity of errors both in my FTP programs and using the Cpanel flie manager.

When I checked the needed directories file permission they read 777 (which is needed for installing components) yet when I got to access them they are unwritable. This has just happened in the last day or so and the not being able to delete files mannual in the past week.

Suggest you submit a ticket to the Help desk or email to support@trap17.com providing all this information and the cpanel username, and the domain or sub-domain name, also.
This may be something about the recent upgrades and all the server re-configurations. I don't see how this could be happening unless the account settings need tweaking.

By the way, what do you have for your .htaccess file? anything in there that may be affecting the account permissions?

Dear blendergalactica i think best way to fix this problem is :
delete that folder and upload again this folder , i think .htaccess file in that folder must overwrite

it cant be the .htaccess file as CHMOD overwrites and overrules it. Like jlhaslip said id submit a ticket to support and see what they say about it
