When the partition is mounted on boot, it is mounted by root, which makes
it read-only to your user. If you need the partition to be always mounted
by your user, you can add the option "uid=youruser" to the fstab line.

I use to do this editing /etc/fstab directly, but there may be a way to do
that using the GUI suggested in Mark Greenwood's message, also.
