You will require super user privilege to edit /etc/fstab. Give following 
command to edit

sudo vi /etc/fstab

Please be careful when you edit files like fstab. Read about fstab before 
attempting to do anything. 

Alternatively you can create appropriate filesystems on those partitions and 
the system should be able to mount it.
