I can't comment on this since you didn't mention which file manager.

If this is not a removable drive you might want to use something like
this in your fstab:
/dev/sdaX /media/ntfs ntfs-3g
uid=1000,gid=1000,fmask=113,dmask=002
This would make *all* files on the partition *owned* by user 1000, and
set some umask for them.
Kind regards,
