There are two ways to set file permissions in Perforce:

1. Set the file permissions before you p4 add the file to Perforce.
2. Edit the file with the permissions you would like to have i.e:

p4 edit -t text+x some_bash_script.sh

Then Perforce will open the file for edit using the filetype you requested. This document has more information on Perforce filetype options.
