permissions option in fstab.First unmount the ntfs partition.
Then edit
/etc/fstab# Graphical
gksu gedit /etc/fstab
# Command line
sudo -e /etc/fstab
Identify your partition UUID with
blkidsudo blkid # change the "UUID" to your partition UUID
UUID=12102C02102CEB83 /media/windows ntfs-3g auto,users,permissions 0 0
Make a mount point (if needed)
sudo mkdir /media/windows
Now mount the partition
mount /media/windows
The options I gave you,
auto, will automatically mount the partition when you boot and users allows users to mount and umount .You can then use chown and chmod on the ntfs partition.

Old thread, I know, but still relevant and
missing a particular use case tip, composed from different suggestions
on various other forums/threads and tested on Ubuntu GNOME 13.04 where I
wanted an external drive to hold a Steam library...
When the NTFS partition is on an external usb drive, for example -- which means the partition is mounted on the fly upon connection -- then you can use the following method to make udev mount ntfs partitions with execution rights.
Open a terminal window and do:
Then paste this line in what should be a blank/new file (if not, then exit nano and reissue the command but starting the file name with a higher number like 91-...):
Then save and close. Unplug the drive and then do in terminal:
Next, plug the drive back in and enjoy :)
