I have just installed ubuntu 12.04 LTS. I mounted my SOFTS(/dev/sda6), a NTFS partition by selecting it on nautilus. After that I openend the terminal and tried to change the permissions of a file. The command executed but the file permissions remained unchanged. I tried changing the permissions by using root privileges but that did not work either.

Modifying file ownerships might help? Invoke man chown in the terminal to see how it works!

you have to use the 'permissions" option in fstab, see the link I gave you. – Panther May 02 '12 at 04:24

@wangdw How are you suggesting the ownership should be changed. I recommend expanding this answer to include that information. – Eliah Kagan Aug 22 '12 at 08:47
