Sorry. Apparently there is a kedit as well. But kedit is only required
by kdeutils and such, while kate is required by kdebase, and thus more
likely to be installed.

I don't think you need to download anything. As I understand it, you
have a /dev/sdb5 partition, mounted on /media/sdb5, and your problem is
that you can't write to /media/sdb5 . Try the following (/media/sdb5
should already be mounted, because of your new fstab):

sudo chown steven:steven /media/sdb5
mkdir /media/sdb5/NewDirectory
touch /media/sdb5/NewDirectory/test.txt

Post any output (there should be none, other than the sudo prompt, if it
works).

This changes ownership on the root directory of the filesystem to you,
then creates a directory and a file to test. Afterwards, post the
output of:

ls -ld /media/sdb5
ls -ld /media/sdb5/NewDirectory
ls -l /media/sdb5/NewDirectory

Best,
