Do you mean "writable"?
Also, I'm making a very far-fetched guess based on the mount point name (/mnt/nt) that you're mounting a drive with Windows NT on it...
If that is true, please double check what filesystem you're using before trying to mount it read-write. If it's FAT32, try mounting it as "umsdos" with option (you can specify options with the mount command using the option "-o") "rw". See the man pages for mount and try the man page for "fs" (describes filesystems).
Now, if you're using NTFS, do not mount it read-write. Leave it read only (most Linux system leave NTFS read-write ability out of the kernel by default), otherwise you will corrupt the NTFS volume unless you run some special utilities afterwards - still, even then no guarantees...
Please post back with more information if you have more questions.

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.
