Fat filesystems don't have any structure for permissions, so they get a
blanket permission when they are mounted. Careful and recursive reading
of man umask, mount and fstab plus a general knowledge of linux might
make thaaat clear. I know nothing of linuxconf, but to make a fat32
partition that is automounted world-writable, in the fourth column of
the line for it in /etc/fstab, add ,umask=0
