So it is already mounted.

If you changed noauto to auto it's supposed to be mounted, check with the command mount. If it's not read-write try with:
mount -t msdos -o remount,rw /dev/hda5 /mnt/hda5

This is what in that partition: System Volume Information, configs.tbz, knoppix.img and knoppix.sh. What are these files? They all belong to Linux? So all this while I had the partition available to me but didn't know it. Is it possible to read Linux files from Windows?

Not sure but looks like something from a persistent home or saved configs.
BTW: hda2 is just the extended partition which includes hda5.
