How do you login to sql server? Do you use sql authentication? If so, check the account you login with has appropriate permissions. Or are you using windows authentication?

Can you login to database engine and read data anyway??

You need "CREATE DATABASE" permission to create new database. However, to make things easier, i would suggest you use sys_admin permission over your database.Open sql express and click "security"-->Logins, see if your login name is listed there. Rigth click your user name and select "properties", click "server roles" or "User Mappings" to see which role has been assigned to your account. If you are not a sys_admin/db_owner role, login agin using a dbo account(if you have one) and assign you account a sys_admin/dbo permission.

Hope my suggestion helps
