What file system is it? If it's vfat, then you have to edit /etc/fstab
and add the option "user" to the line describing the mount for the
external drive.

Then you can mount and unmount the partition as a
normal user.

Currently it looks like your drive is being mounted as
root. As such, all the files belong to root and you have read-only
access when you are running as a normal user.
