AFAIK, sudo chmod u+/-wrx -R /media/windows should do it. u stands for user w stands for write r stands for read x stands for execute + give - take -R recursive eg. sudo chmod u+r -R /media/windows to make all file in windows folder writeable by the user.

Actually there is no point in changing the permissions after the partition is mounted because the permissions wont be retained. If yuo want to mount the partition with certain permissions then check mount's options flag.

You can use mount options to set permissions or alternatively specify the options in fstab if the partition is mounted at boot. The below link should help giving you a pointer on how to do it. http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-list/2006-May/msg03912.html
