Caryl;

Sorry you are having problems:

Double Click on the sugar.iso you downloaded to the Mac Desktop
-this will mount it as a disk on the desktop

open Disk Utility
  -select the same .iso

Click Burn on top bar of Disk utility (circle with yellow and black sectors)
Insert CD
(burn)

This is detailed in a series of annotated screen shots from my Mac 
Powerbook Pro i7 here:

Hope this works.

Cordially

Tom Gilliard
