Right click on the directory and choose "Security". Anything after that is off-topic in this list ;)

Putting application data into "Program Files" is a very bad idea in general, not only for Postgres.
I'm not sure if the current installer still suggests this, but this was a major flaw in the installers I have used
before.The installer does offer the possibility to change this, but how many people really take the time to read the
wizardpages?
