You could try setting something like:
MY_HOME=$(xdg-user-dir HOME)

sed -i 's/mount_removable=0/mount_removable=1/'
"$MY_HOME/.config/pcmanfm/lubuntu/pcmanfm.conf"

You could also save the script as a file in your $PATH (like /usr/bin)
and use:
exec scriptname
in your conf file

But this is maybe more of a style preference thing :)
