you can set the permission with the 'chmod' command and ownerships with
'chown' command.

First give the owner ship of the mount point,

# chown [users]
# chmod 775

you can give all the permission to every one with the notation 777.

and add  a line in /etc/fstab and in /etc/mtab to make it auto mount,

with fstab, it'll auto mount any disk stated in /etc/fstab file, with mtab,
it'll mount the disk is inserted.

/dev/sda1 /media/usbdisk ext3 rw, (state the options you want).

here make sure, your mount point is /media/usbdisk or what ever the name you
give in the /media/[directory]

ATB,
