The NTFS driver ntfs-3g is installed by default and write support is enabled for root only. Modify /etc/fstab line where is mentioned windows, parameter dmask=002 and parameter fmask=113 to enable user writing. For example:
#Device Mountpoint Filesystem Parameters
/dev/sda3 /media user,users,gid=users,fmask=113,dmask=002,locale=en_US.UTF-8 0 0
save and reboot to check
