This is the error i get.

ParserError: Expected pragma, import directive or contract/interface/library definition.

This is my Solidity contract code.

pragma solidity ^0.4.6

contract Inbox
{

    string public message;

    function Inbox(string intialMessage){
        message = intialMessage;
    }
    function setMessage(string newMessage){
        message = newMessage;
    }

}

I cannot figure out why this parse error is occurring. I tried changing the solidity version as well. Didn't work out.

You have missed the semicolon in the first line. It should be,

pragma solidity ^0.4.6;

I tried the code in Remix IDE and it compiles after the above correction.

As other answers also have pointed, You just have missed the ; at the end of the very first line.

pragma keyword in solidity has a ; at the end of the line. you've forgotten it. It should be like,

pragma solidity ^0.4.6;
