Mounting a NTFS Drive in rw mode

I have an NTFS formatted drive used by multipul computers and operating systems.
I want to add it to my Arch install but I can't sem to get it out of a read only mode.

The relevent fstab line is:

# /dev/sdc2
UUID=7080E41D80E3E794                           /mount/Programs ntfs            rw,exec,auto,user,relatime 0 2

Whenever I try and write to it I get

mkdir: cannot create directory ‘Linux’: Operation not permitted

The first thing I did was try and change the permissions with chmod but permissions always stay as drwxr-xr-x
