cdrecord newbie mystified at step zero

All these years I've mounted CD-ROMS with

mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /cdrom

and ignored the response

mount: block device /dev/cdrom is write-protected, mounting read-only

because all I ever wanted to do under
Linux was read them. Now I want to try
to use cdrecord. The tutorial I've been
studying,

http://www.yolinux.com/TUTORIALS/LinuxTutorialCDBurn.html

doesn't say anything about this. The
man page for mount says mounting is
write-enabled by default. Where is the
secret bit that will let me mount
writable?
