How is this possibel?
You can not change the permission of ${HOME} if you are NOT root.

Write a script which is executed after logout.
This script should:
1) rm -rf /home/guest
2) tar -xzf home_guest.tar.gz
and you are done. The archive home_guest.tar.gz should
be the configured /home/guest directory which will be
restored after each logout.
