Simply chmod'ing the permissions of the mount point won't
help. Use mount with the uid, gid and umask options - consult
mount's manpage for details. I'm mounting my FAT partitions
with

uid=0,gid=1001,umask=002

which gives all members of group 1001 read/write and
all other users read permission.

HTH,
