It's not even Cocoa.
What you are looking for is either file permissions (bad idea)
OR
keeping data in an intermediary state/storage location UNTIL it is ok to dump 
it.

So have whatever on the desktop (not the wisest place for a file) but copy and 
keep open/working data to a file in Application Support where it belongs. On 
quit/save, copy data out to desired file/filename/location/URL. 
To the user, this would all be opaque and seem like it's only the original 
file. 
To the app, everything will be where it needs to be while needed.
