/dev/hdb3        /                ext4        defaults         1   1

/dev/hda5        /mnt/hda5        ntfs-3g     umask=077        1   0
/dev/hdb1        /mnt/hdb1        ntfs-3g     umask=077        1   0
/dev/cdrom       /mnt/cdrom       auto        noauto,user,ro   0   0
/dev/fd0         /mnt/floppy      auto        noauto,owner     0   0
devpts           /dev/pts         devpts      gid=5,mode=620   0   0
proc             /proc            proc        defaults         0   0
tmpfs            /dev/shm         tmpfs       defaults         0   0

The problem now is that i cannot access any file on hdb1, and chown or chmod are not working, i tried changing the permissions and the owners of the files but it's not working, on both commands it shows me error: Operation not supported.

umask=077 default ownership root:root, of course you can't acess as normal user, add this to you fstap options: uid=$USER,gid=$GROUP

uid for setting the ownership, gid is for setting groups. and chown mount point to $USER.

Okay, so its a mount option thing.

I solved the problem.

Just replace the umask=077 with defaults in fstab, reboot the machine and that's it, now it's working as it's supposed to be.

Thank you for your help.

and anyone can see it.

my guess is that you wanted to make it so it can only be accessed by $USER. i did same thing for a static smb mount. use uid and gid options to lock it to spasific user and with umask 077, only spesific user can access it.
