I formatted a partition from NTFS to ext4 using Gparted in linux. But now it is a read only file system. It is also showing root as the owner.
how to fix it and make it writable?

If your system is debain based (ubuntu, mint, kali...)

Code:
sudo chown -R $(whoami):$(whoami) /media/$(whoami)/*

if your system is vanilla (arch, lfs, redhat)

Code:
sudo chown -R $(whoami):$(whoami) /run/media/$(whoami)/*

Both of the above command changes permissions, do use this with caution.
