Its your fstab. do this:
/dev/hdb3 /mymusic vfat rw,uid=1234 0 0
(where 1234 is the user you want to have access to that partition)
or this
/dev/hdb3 /mymusic vfat rw,umask=0 0 0
or maybe even this (for slighly higher security)
/dev/hdb3 /mymusic vfat rw,umask=02,gid=xxx 0 0
where xxx is replaced with the group id of a group you want
to allow to write to the partition.
see the man page for why on all of this...
