The following works for my Nokia MicroSD card.  Just change the device
and mount point as appropriate.

  sudo mount -o remount,rw /dev/sdc /media/disk

No idea how to have it automount read-write though - anyone???

(Note that 'MicroSD' cards do not have a write-protect tab - at least
not the Nokia supplied cards, but I don't think any of them do.)

Hope this helps.
