well so what let you come to the conclusion it is MOUNTED read-only?
what says "mount | grep sda3"?

i doubt you are only kacing write-permissions
this has nothing to do with read-only

is this still the same computer of your freind
where you trying to rescue data since days?

if yes - PLEASE be a friend to him and consult someone which
is knowing what he is doing - appearently you are only shooting
in the dark which sooner or later ends in data finally lost!
