Still.. writing isn't as important as it being readable to users.. how do I do that?

am guessing changing 'ro' to 'rw' does makes them writable.. but will seek help rather than make errors :)
NO!!!!!
Do NOT mount it rw. ntfs support in linux is only read capable. If you
attempt to write to it, you will damage your ntfs filesystem so badly
that it cannot be recovered. Do *NOT* mount it rw. If you want to
share data between win and lin, you need to use a fat32 partition.
