I can't see that there is anyway in dired
to hide permissions and ownership, but show size and date.
As the only user on the system and using a version control system, my files generally belong to me and are read-write.

The dired-details
package, available from melpa, allows you to hide and show detailed listings in dired
by pressing )
and (
. Not exactly what you are looking for, but maybe useful as a work around until we find a way to pick and choose columns from the ls
output to display.
As @mikado points out, this feature is now part of Emacs without any packages, just by pressing (
from a dired
buffer. Neither the Emacs built-in version or the dired-details
version allow you to select which columns of the ls
output to show & hide, though.
With stock emacs, you could try this:
(require 'ls-lisp)
(setq ls-lisp-use-insert-directory-program nil)
(setq ls-lisp-verbosity nil)
That should do everything you need except for hiding the permissions.
