Problem when trying to mount

When I tried to do mount/mnt/cdrom

I got the following problem:

mount: Block device /dev/cdroms/cdrom0 is write-protected, mounting read only.

How can I fix this?

Well it's not really a problem, just a warning.
In your /etc/fstab file, a line should mention /mnt/cdrom. Just add the 'ro' option (read only) in the option section. E.g:

Also that makes complete sence as a CD is Read-Only. That is one error you can ignore as you will always get it unless you do as jayk said and pass the ro option.
