1. If you are not an administrator, are you trying to create a folder within your home folder? If not, that's the only place you can create folders, unless the administrator gives you other access. Note subfolders with non-generic blank folder icons within the home folder are usually only designated for iApps and user specific applications such as the Library, Pictures, Music, and Movies folders. The Documents folder stores some application specific documents too, whose subfolders are only intended for those applications.
2. If you are an administrator use Disk Utility to repair permissions if it is a folder you know you otherwise have been able to create folders in the past.
To check if you are an administrator, check Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Accounts.
