Your issue is that NTFS by default doesn't support the same file permissions as Linux uses.
You can change what permissions an NTFS partition will be mounted with.
You can also get around it with user files or something to have proper full permission support, but I'm not familiar with this.
Something like this thread should have all the answers: https://askubuntu.com/questions/11840/how-do-i-use-chmod-on-an-ntfs-or-fat32-partition/
(best is to avoid NTFS, if you can)
Thank You. I'm scared about possible data loss (if any) when changing NTFS permissions on Linux.
