As described in the official Linux NTFS FAQ [1], you can't really write to an NTFS volume, unless you are interested in overwriting a file without shanging it's size. If you really want to share a volume between Windows and Debian on a system, I suggest you use FAT32/vfat (same difference) instead of NTFS.
