Read the driver documentation, at Documentation/laptops/thinkpad-acpi.txt.
Fan control is locked by default, for hardware safety reasons.  The docs
tell you why, how to use the fan control interface, and how to unlock it.

Also, I suggest you get used to the hwmon fan control interface on /sys,
procfs is going away sooner or later...
