So what does
 ls -l /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/default
show>  In other words, who is the owner and what are the permissions?

On my slackware64-current system, the permissions are read only, so of 
course one cannot alter the value unless the permissions are altered 
to rw.  If you must change this
  chmod 644 /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/default/mc_forwarding
  echo 1 >/proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/default/mc_forwarding
