How are you trying to do it and what isn't working about it?  Need much
more information to give you any kind of meaningful advice.

Give up.  CD-ROMs are read-only.

However, if you want to write to a CD-R or a CD-RW, try mkisofs
(to create a filesystem image containing the files) and cdrecord
(to write the image to disk).

Same issues as if you were doing it on a PC:

1) Is the drive a burner or just a reader?  Solaris used to
come with readers not burners so you need to check.

2) Is the CDR you are using still a blank?

3) Have you loaded custom CD burning software?  None
used to be supplied by default with Solaris.

Solaris 9 and 10 come with cdrw, which works OK on my Blade 2000 using a
USB 2.0 DVD writer from LG.

Take care,
