Question #2, in kernel 2.6 I believe you can set NTFS as writable, although it's experimental, and at least I don't dare to use it. ;)
Question #3, perhaps by some external tools (software, that is), but I don't know any offhand --- if there even are any.
The way I solve exchange of files between XP and Linux, is that I have a FAT-partition, which is (easily) mountable, readable and writable, by both Windows and Linux ...

I have dual booting system: XP with NTFS and Debian unstable with ext2 file systems. This is Acer Travelmate notebook. Network and internet connections are not available usually.
1. How to allow non-root user to read XP partition ?
I added a line to /etc/fstab :
/dev/hda1 /xp ntfs users,uid=andrus,exec,rw,suid,umark=0777
Unfortunately, only root can access to xp directory. User andrus does not have access to /xp directory. Why ?
2. How to write to NTFS partition from Linux ?
The fstab line above mounts /xp as read only !
3. How to read and write ext2 partition from Windows XP ?
