CDs and DVDs are always mounted read-only.  Writing to them requires a 
different technique than reading them, and they are normally only 
written to when they are _not_ mounted.

No.  "noauto" in the mount options in /etc/fstab simply means that the 
filesystem is not mounted automatically at boot time.  You don't want to 
have the system start looking for a filesystem on a CD/DVD to mount at 
boot time. ;-)
