Rather than chanignt eh ownership of the mount point (which is of
dubious use), you should use the uid= and gid= options when
mounting the filesystem. E.g. something like:
addgroup devhda3
adduser -G devhda3 someuser
echo "/dev/hda3 /c vfat gid=`grep ^devhda3: /etc/group | cut -d: -f3`,mode=775 0 0" >>
/etc/fstab
mount /c
Now all users who belong to the group devhda3 will be able to
read/write files one the partition mounted on /c.
