How are you connecting to SQL? In other words, are you using Windows or SQL authentication? If the former, did you add your account as an administrator? If the latter (or answer to last question is no), try logging in with the sa (database owner) account.
Typically the default permissions is that the Local Administrators group has sysadmin access. If you are not in the local admins group on the windows machine, then you will not have access to be sysadmin. By default I believe that all users (non-admins) are users and can query databases, but cannot create.

I cannot log in as sa, the user is disabled. When I try enabling I get a permission error.
All I need is an SQL Express database for my application, should I try reinstalling SQL?
