Because it is next to impossible to understand what you say.

You just have to change your fstab file.
As root edit the fstab file in /etc/fstab and update the line for your ntfs partition.
Example:
*# open fstab in kwrite*
**sudo kwrite /etc/fstab**
*# example 1 fstab entry allowing ALL users to automount at boot and give r/w access*
**/dev/disk/by-id/partitionid /mnt/ntfs ntfs-3g rw,user,users,noatime,auto,umask=000 0 0**
*# example 2 fstab entry allowing ALL users to manually mount instead (no automount at boot) and give r/w access*
**/dev/disk/by-id/partitionid /mnt/ntfs ntfs-3g rw,user,users,noatime,noauto,umask=000 0 0**
You will need to replace /dev/disk/by-id/parititionid with whatever disk/partition you are trying to mount and also replace /mnt/nfts with the path you want to mount it to.
The user option changes the ownership of the mount point to the user that mounted it, the users option allows everyone in the group users to own the files as well.
The umask option should allow all users/groups r/w access via 000, the default is 022 which can be restrictive.
You can also change the value of umask and include the user ID (uid), group ID (gid), file permissions (fmask), or directory permissions (dmask).
Using umask, with uid and gid is usually used to mount the partition with permissions for a single user.
Use umask with fmask and dmask to change permissions for all users and include specific permissions for files and directories separately.
