The same way you copy any file.

It should work both ways - have you perhaps specified that it should be mounted Read-Only
in /etc/fstab by mistake?  Look for a 'ro' in the comma separated list to the right
on the line that starts /dev/hda1 - if it's there, just edit it out and re-mount
/dev/hda1 and all should be well.
