Thanks for everyone's help here.
Solved it myself.
For any other ssh noobs, here is what i did:
1. download Putty.exe for windows here: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html
2. double click and launch .exe file
3. enter ip or host name in top box
4. connection type: ssl
5. port: type in your port number if using something other than 22
5. click on "Open"
6. a black window will open up. if you get a security alert, just click YES. this just tells putty to remember the connection.
7. you should get a black window that pops up
8. you'll have to type in the root username. if you have a vps or dedicated, type in the root username
9. hit enter then type in the root password on the second line
10. now you will have the command line. type in su - to access the root.
11. now type chmod 4755 /usr/bin/crontab and hit enter
12. you have successfully changed the permission for crontab to 4755
13. congrats. have a beer.
