I think I misunderstood you first time round. I thought you were trying to access the files via network.
If you're trying to write to an NTFS partition and it only succeeds as root, the mounting options in your /etc/fstab prohibit writing as any other users. You can set the parameters in the fstab file to specify which user appears as the owner of the files, and which mode the files appear as. You can find more details in the man page for mount.
