add 'uid=your_user_name' to the options column in /etc/fstab.
Also add 'user' if you want mount/umount it without using sudo.
Eg. if you have:
/dev/hda1 /media/ntfs ntfs defaults 0 0
line in your /etc/fstab file and your user name is 'myname', change it to:
/dev/hda1 /media/ntfs ntfs defaults,uid=myname,user 0 0

What is that 'Windows-1251' thing?? There is no such option. Remove it.

Windows-1251 is my locale encoding (I'm living in Russia and some of my files named in Russian)
