You can't. You must unmount. You should be able to do this from single user mode if the file system cannot be unmounted under multiuser mode (eg /usr, /var, etc.). Usually other mount points can be unmounted, but depends on what is running on the system at the time. Unmounting /home would require that you kick all users off for example, unmounting /var/www would require stopping apache, etc.
I mounted the partition to a directory under /mnt (simultaneously) and was able to see the hidden files.
