They are created by udev. To change it you need to modify
/etc/udev/rules.d/60-symlinks.rules.

Maybe changing the line
 ENV{ID_CDROM}=="?*",                    SYMLINK+="cdrom"
to
 ENV{ID_CDROM}=="?*", ENV{ID_CDROM_CD_RW}!="?*" SYMLINK+="cdrom"
works (I never tried it)

If it doesn't work please post the output of
  /lib/udev/cdrom_id /dev/XYZ
for both of the drives (replace XYZ with the device name)
