How can i mount ntfs?

Using the read-only native NTFS module or the third-party read/write sysutils/fusefs-ntfs port?

If the former:
Code: 
/dev/ad0sx /media/sdaX ntfs ro 0 0
Then mount using
# mount /media/sdaX

If the latter, search this forum. It has been asked gazillion times.
 
I don't want to manually mount it with mount_ntfs.
I want to edit /etc/fstab to mount it if i click it from file manager it will be mounted.
How can it be done.
 
That command shows a specific part of the man page, which you are supposed to read. As far as read/write, leave out the read-only flag.

If you use Gnome, NTFS rw automounting from file manager does not work on FreeBSD. You can hack to make it half-working (e.g. you can't unmount it) For rw, you have to use ntfs-3g and it is not 100% integrated into Gnome yet on FreeBSD. Just manually mount it at boot time by editing /etc/fstab.
