How to make a FreeBSD hdd writable from WinXP?

Hey, I was wondering how I can write/edit files on my FreeBSD hdd from windows XP. I specifically need to fix a change I made to /boot/defaults/loader.conf that made it impossible to boot into my FreeBSD hdd. It's a simple fix, but since I can't boot into FreeBSD, I have to fix it from my Windows hdd. My problem is that when I try to save the fixed .conf file, it says that the FreeBSD hdd is write protected. Any suggestions on how to make the FreeBSD hdd writable from Windows XP?
