Your device should mount in /media and normally there would be no issue with permissions. Make sure there is no locking device on the media. I don’t know if usb sicks have this but certainly some media cards do.

You could try opening a terminal and going su and do the following:

chown -R UserName /pathToDrive

Ref to above: UserName=your user name - /pathToDrive= should be something like /media/the name of the usb device
