add umask=000 to your mount options

did you check permission for that partitions?

Also, you can try with acid_kewpie suggestion under /etc/fstab (mount point)

i am auto mounting them in fstab,
but i am using those partitions in root as write mode,
but not in normal user
i heard that in fstab also default is write mode mounting..
but not working for normal user

I assume the disk is vfat? If not, I'm not sure how to do it.

You should add the uid option to your fstab, so you line looks something like this:

/dev/hda3 /mnt/windooze vfat uid=**your user name** 0 0

along with the uid option you should add your other default options.

Hope this helps.
