Hosts file?

I want to access the hosts file for adblocking reasons.

I found the file in \etc\hosts but trying to replace it in file manager just gives me a permission denied error.

I assume it has to be done through terminal but I don't know how.

Also, where the hosts file is located in the Android folders?
