While opening a site in Sharepoint Designer i am getting an error message You do not have permission to do this operation ask your website administrator to change the permission and try again. Iam the site collection administrator. Iam able to open other webapplication.

Can somebody let me know what could be the reason.

It is possible that the farm administrator could have disabled SharePoint Designer access to the site. Could that be what is going on? Or are you the farm admin also?

Try adding yourself to the 'Owners of sitecollectionname' group. It adds some extra rights to your account if I'm not mistaken.
