Thank for answer!
But this is a very strange, because 0x0509940, i passed, - it a virtual 
memory address (i got it from System.map, this is a system call table, 
on my machine). set_memory_rw return zero, anyway. So i can't continue 
writing to memory. Maybe, system call table is much write protected, so 
i can't change attribute of memory page?
One more interesting thing:

struct page *pg;
pg = virt_to_page(addr);
unsigned long page_addr;
page_addr = (unsigned long) page_address(pg);


addr - this is my virtual address (provided by System.map)
But page_addr got another value!
What wrong?
Sorry, if my questions is to stupid.

P.S. I know, that overwriting system call table is very bad, i just 
experimenting with my own network drivers and i need to replace some 
network system calls..


Best regard,
Oleg.
