OS-X can read NTFS drives, but by default cannot write to them, hence the read-only mount.  If you have control over that external drive you can format it (on OS-X) as ExFAT, and it can then be written to and read from by both OS-X and Windows.  If the drive must be formatted NTFS, you can turn on writing via terminal commands (which works ONLY on a volume-by-volume basis) or using a third party utility.  There is a pretty good summary here:
