Harddisk problem with mounting [ntfs]


If got three harddisk in my suse9.0 machine.
One FAT (I used before on a windows machine)
One NTFS (is a school disk)
One Linux harddisk.

If I want to access my NTFS partition he is telling me its only read only.

How do I change this in fstab ??

This is my current output of /etc/fstab :

Code:
/dev/hda1            /                    reiserfs   defaults              1 1
/dev/hdc1            /windows/C           ntfs       defaults              0 0
/dev/hdd1            /windows/D           vfat       users,gid=users,umask=0002,iocharset=iso8859-1,code=437 0 0
/dev/hda2            swap                 swap       pri=42                0 0
devpts               /dev/pts             devpts     mode=0620,gid=5       0 0
proc                 /proc                proc       defaults              0 0
usbdevfs             /proc/bus/usb        usbdevfs   noauto                0 0
/dev/cdrecorder      /media/cdrecorder    auto       ro,noauto,user,exec   0 0
/dev/cdrom           /media/cdrom         auto       ro,noauto,user,exec   0 0
/dev/fd0             /media/floppy        auto       noauto,user,sync      0 0
Thanks

You can't write to ntfs in Linux (safely).
