Thanx Nandz,

I have already tried this 

>imdps$ mount -tvfat /dev/fd0 /mnt/floopy

but the result which this command shows is:
you must be root to mount.

And my problem is I am being able to mount the floopy and read its
contents as superuser by simply using the command mount /mnt/floppy,
but not from the user side like in my case imdps.

Any comments please???

You are not supposed to edit /etc/mtab. It is updated by mount
automatically each time a filesystem is mounted/unmounted.

try the following command from user imdps:

imdps$ mount -tvfat /dev/fd0 /mnt/floopy

Nandz.
PS: FYI it's popularly known as a 'floppy'
