You need to do it as part of the mount options, which are configured
in /etc/fstab
The easiest way is probably to use linuxconf, go to File systems, then
Access local drive, click on the device in the list and the opup
tabbed window contains a tab Dos options, in which you can specify a
default user id and a default group id to be used when the partition
is mounted.
Think that covers it.
