There is experimental NTFS write support, but as I recall it has to be
explicity enabled somehow.  I've done it, once, but I don't recall the
procedure.

One of the problems is is that NTFS relies upon a SAM in order to
enforce the security model.  Linux don't go no stinkin' SAM - so when
you do enable writes it has all the security features of a FAT
filesystem.
