What file system is it? If it's vfat, then you have to edit /etc/fstab and add the option "user" to the line describing the mount for the external drive. Then you can mount and unmount the partition as a normal user. Currently it looks like your drive is being mounted as root. As such, all the files belong to root and you have read-only access when you are running as a normal user.
