Trying to chmod the mount point does no good; permissions and ownership on FAT32/NTFS partitions are set at mount time, usually from an option in the relevant /etc/fstab entry. Append ",umask=0" to the options portion of the appropriate line in /etc/fstab (i.e. the portion of the line that is just before the " 0 0", and already contains some comma-separated options).
