Cannot restore do not have Permission in Time Machine HELP

Question

HI
Have searched and Searched but cannot find answer so Help please - all sugestions appriciated
Using Mountain Lion , fully updated , however had a Problem with Internet , stopped and could not get it working , so was time to do a Clean Install - first time ever in 5 years since new so probably needed it .
Anyway I have done a Clean Install of Mountain Lion - erased disc first , just trying to restore to a good stage , have restore all Files/docs/pictures/music/etc just by copying over from External HDD ,
But have lots and lots of Apps and games , many I have fresh downloaded , or re-installed from the DMG i have kept , but there are some APP's and Games i want back that i cannot find anywhere else , Plus games have saved stages and things like that -
Every time I try to restore a Game/App i get a message ""The operation can’t be completed because you don’t have permission to access (name of App/game)""
I go into Time Machine find the correct one and Click restore on the right Hand side ?
So can someone tell me what has gone wrong and how to Fix , Obviously the permissions are wrong (have done a Fix permissions on Computer HDD - do not have option to do on TM hdd though) , could this be as maybe a new account when set up the mountain Lion again ?
Also is it possible to restore a App in it's complete form , with all settings and bits Via time machine as I also have Mac mail before working with Hotmail using a mboxmail system that i cannot get working again either so a restore of that would be great also.
Thanks in Advance all

I'm assuming that you are really on OS X 10.8, not 10.6 as your profile indicates. If that assumption is wrong, don't follow these instructions.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below to select it:
open /V*/*/B*.b*/*/L*/*/A*
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C).
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V).
A folder should open, which is the latest snapshot of the Applications folder. Drag the items you want from there. You may be prompted for your login password.
If the items are not in the latest snapshot, navigate in the Finder to an earlier snapshot folder. The snapshots are represented by folders with a name that begins with the date of the snapshot.
