Windows 10: Downloaded File Has No Security Tab

G'Day,
I have a downloaded file that I wish to rename. When I try to, it reverts back to its original name.
I see that in the files properties, that it has had its security tab removed. Can I add the security tab to it?
If I can, will that allow me to take ownership of the file?

I can just delete the file as it is not important to me but when I see a problem that I have never experienced before, I wish to further my computer knowledge.

Windows 10 Pro.

:)
