Any web services available for element level permission in sharepoint?

Question

Through web services, I am trying to set the user permission on a document inside a document library.

Are there any web services for setting a (Read / Full Control / Contribute) document to a common point?

There is currently no OOTB web service for applying fine-grained permissions. The best you can do is a site or list.

You should be able to create a web service to do this, but here is an example:
