Hi. You need to change permissions.
See this documentation for general introduction to filepermissions https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions.
For a tutorial on mounting your partitions and setting permissions http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/mountlinux

By default you'll have permission to create new folders within your home folder, but not anywhere else on the system. This is an important security feature.

So if you just want to create a folder for storing files for your own use, create it inside your home folder and it'll work perfectly.
