Look at the section on options for fat file-systems in the mount
manpage, specifically the umask option. You might also want to use
the uid or gid options in combination with this. For instance, the
options "gid=100,umask=002" will lead to the files being writable for
root and group <whatever-group-is-gid-100>.
