Yes.
If using GNOME, open "gconf" editor and navigate to:
/system/storage/default_options/vfat/mount_options
Instead "shortname=lower" change that value to something that fits your
needs, such "shortname=mixed" or "shortname=winnt". That will preserve
the "case" in filenames.
"man mount" should list all the available values.
