See uid and gid options in fstab manual. If you change your fstab entry
to:
/dev/hda11 /home/shri/data vfat defaults,user,noauto,uid=0,umask=000 0 0
your partition's root will be mounted with specified uid. Also, umask=000
will allow all users access defined by the files' privileges (beware: all
writable files on your vfat partition will be _writable_for_all_users_ -
it might be better to mount the partition with a given gid, you could then
grant access to the partition with group memberships).
