I have a CD mounted read-only:

/dev/scd0 on /mnt/cdrom type iso9660 (ro,noexec,nosuid,nodev)

yet, if you look at some directories under the mount point:

kenny 2:28pm [/mnt/cdrom/images/] > ls -la
total 5781
drwxrwxr-x 2 root root 2048 May 11 12:40 .
drwxrwxr-x 10 root root 2048 May 11 12:59 ..
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 192 May 11 13:20 TRANS.TBL
-rw-rw-r-- 2 root root 1474560 May 11 11:48 boot.img
-rw-rw-r-- 3 root root 1474560 May 10 16:24 rescue.img
-rw-rw-r-- 2 root root 1474560 May 11 11:49 supp.img
kenny 2:28pm [/mnt/cdrom/images/] >

... notice the perms on some of the files are 664, not 444 as they should be.
(if I try to append one of the files or touch a new one, I still get the
'read-only file system' error)
