The easiest way I know is to download a kernel-module from here:
http://www.linux-ntfs.org/content/view/120/59/
The downside is that with each new kernel you need a new module, so if you
really need ntfs support all the time, you might be stuck for a while. It
used to be read-only but I have not checked what the story is these days.
