NTFS permissions for Windows folder(NTFS3 driver)

I'm using NTFS3 kernel driver for my windows(C: drive) partition, I'm facing problems with issues writing to certain folders like Users/admin2/Appdata and Documents folders, with user and group set to root despite setting appropriate permissions in /etc/fstab, how can I make it so that every folder and file in that partition is set to my user and group so that I can have full read/write access? chmod and chown operations didn't help either as they didn't persist in reboots. I don't really want to resort to using ntfs-3g either for performance reasons.
Any help is appreciated.

The fstab entry for the windows partition:

/dev/disk/by-uuid/2A2899D62899A0FD /media/admin2/Windows\04010 auto uid=1000,gid=1000,umask=0022,defaults,prealloc,x-gvfs-show,windows_names 0 0

I'll happily provide additional info if needed. Thank you.
