Windows does not use the standard user/group/all permissions that are in use with most unix servers so the mode option most likely will never be supported. Windows uses ACLs https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa374872%28v=vs.85%29.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396 to set permissions on files and folders and these are a lot more complicated than the mode permissions.
While you can't do it in one task with win_copy, the win_acl http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/win_acl_module.html module is designed to set ACL's on a file/folder to achieve a similar result.
