I am using windows 8.1. I installed virtualbox and set up a virtual Ubuntu 13.10 system in it. I want to shared the folder with windows. The folder is the Dropbox folder with rw permission. I can successfully mount the any other folder in my windows except the Dropbox folder. I can only mount it with readonly permission.

I use the command like 

   sudo mount -t vboxsf sharename /home/username/mountpoint -o rw,exec,uid=1000,gid=1000,dev

Why I can not mount Dropbox with rw?

I'd suggest using Dropbox for Linux instead. You can install via the Ubuntu .deb file available through the previous link, or you can install Dropbox graphically using the Software Center program. It's much easier than trying to share a Dropbox directory across the network.
