I run Ubuntu 14.0 using a flash drive on my Windows 8.1-64 bit PC. Now is it possible that I can access files and folders of the Windows using that bootable flash drive having Ubuntu. If yes and please tell me how to go about it.

You should have all mountable drives shown in the Launcher and/or in Nautilus' side bar.
Just click on the Windows drive (probably labelled WIN or WINDOWS or whatever) and it will be automatically mounted, if possible. Cases in which mounting a Windows partition is impossible include:
- If the installed Windows is hibernated rather than fully shut down, the partition will have a flag telling so.
mount.ntfsmay refuse to mount the drive. - If the partition is encrypted, you either can't mount it or can't read from it.
There may be other cases in which a Windows drive remains unmountable, but these two are the most common problems.
