man mount

will tell you how.  Here are a couple of examples from my own /etc/fstab,
the first being an XP NTFS partition and the second a fat32 partition:

/dev/hdb1  /media/xp/c     ntfs    defaults,ro,user,noauto,uid=paul,gid=paul 0 0
/dev/hdb2  /media/xp/share vfat    defaults,user,uid=paul,gid=paul           0 0
