read the mount manpage, then check out the options uid= gid= and
umask= options for the fat file system.
FAT knows no permissions, so all linux can do is mount a partition
with all the same permissions. if you pass in an option umask=111, then
everyone should be able to read and write on that partition. just be
careful!
