Hi Piyush, your problem seems to be unrelated to X.org, which is what this mailing list is about. Please continue further discussion off-list, at askubuntu.com or answers.launchpad.net .
You can remount the root filesystem with mount -o remount,rw / . However, this will probably not work due to the file system being damaged. Use fsck -p /dev/sdaX (fill in your root partition for "sdaX") to repair it (Chances are, you may need to manually confirm some important changes). After a reboot, the root filesystem should be mounted read-write. If you can restore settings and data (Basically /etc/ , /home, database/webserver directories in /var and dpkg --get-selections), formatting the partition and reinstalling Ubuntu may actually be the easier option though.
