Type in:
sudo su
enter your password.
Type in:
chown <your_user_name> <disk_name>
type:
exit
EDIT:
If your media is mounted read-only, it is probably needed to check group permissions:
First thing to do is to check the permissions on the hardware device mounting your card. You'll need to find the device name. To do this run the following command:
sudo fdisk -l
Your device will probably be something along the lines of /dev/sdb1, it can be the SD Reader /dev/mmcblk0p1.
Next you need to get the permissions on this device:
sudo ls -l /dev/mmcblk0p1
Replace "/dev/mmcblk0p1" with your device location.
You need to be a member of group disk to be able to write to the SD card. You can check which groups your a member of with
groups username
so then:
sudo usermod -G --append disk username
This adds the group disk to your user's groups, which should allow you to now read & write to the SD card.
