It depends on how your partition is set up in your /etc/fstab and whether or not your built NTFS support into your kernel (NOT enabled by default for most distros).
Assuming you have indeed set up NTFS support, you can add "user" to the mount options (ex: defaults,user) to allow regular users to mount and unmount the partition. Otherwise, only root can do it.

mount_ntfs
MOUNT_NTFS(8) BSD System Manager's Manual MOUNT_NTFS(8)
NAME
mount_ntfs -- mount an NTFS file system
SYNOPSIS
mount_ntfs [-s] [-o options] special node
DESCRIPTION
The mount_ntfs command attaches the NTFS file system residing on the device special to the global file system namespace at the location indi-
cated by node. This command is normally executed by mount(8) at boot time, but can be used by any user to mount an NTFS file system on any
directory that they own (provided, of course, that they have appropriate access to the device that contains the file system).
The options are as follows:
-s Mount the volume using case sensitive semantics. This means that you can create files that have names that only differ in case such
as for example "foo" and "Foo". Without this option the volume is mounted using case insensitive semantics in which case if you cre-
ate a file with name "foo" you then cannot create a file named "Foo" or rather if you do create a file named "Foo" it would overwrite
the existing file "foo".
-o Options are specified with a -o flag followed by a comma separated string of options. See the mount(8) man page for possible options
and their meanings.
