There is a good reason, why /etc/sudoers is read-only. You should edit it with the visudo command. 'man sudoers' and 'man visudo' give more information. The changes suggested by floyd give you full root access. Be careful. You have been warned... I'd use visudo to edit the file and only add the command necessary to mount the trucrypt volume, but of course YMMV. I don't know how the mounting works for truecrypt. It the syntax is similar to other mount commands, it might be possible to just add a line to /etc/fstab with a 'user' option.
