You need to download and install the NTFS driver. See here. This has been asked several times here, you could have done a search. Also, since this is a Fedora question, it really should be in the Fedora forum.

Code:

yum install ntfs-3g

should install the read write for NTFS, I use it, it hasn't failed on me yet. If it doesn't find it, you'll need to add repositories, I'm using the one the unofficial fedora faq's uses. http://www.fedorafaq.org/#installsoftware is instructions for adding their repository setup.
