post the output of:

# cat /etc/fstab
# getfacl /mnt /mnt/ifs
# ls -ltr /mnt;ls -ltr /mnt/ifs

quick answer: try

sudo mkdir /folder/you/want

If you want to be able to edit it as a regular user as well, try:

sudo chmod 666 /folder/you/want

666 means everybody is allowed to read and write from/to that directory.

That might be unsafe to give everyone read and write access, since Julinho is creating a directory in the /mnt folder (possibly mounting a drive or device). Better would be

You have permissions to edit the folder /mnt/lfs/sources, but not the folder /mnt/lfs. As Valkyrie_of_valhalla said, create a folder with the 'sudo' command (creating the folder as root). If you will need to have access to the folder with your personal user account, then change the permissions to '700', as Valkyrie_of_valhalla mentioned.

Try reading through this tutorial I found online, it might help clarify some things for you:
