FAT has no such thing as permissions. This is why when you mount
a FAT disk it will have default permissions for root only. This is a
reasonable precaution. You don't want all to abuse your win partition.
If you want to access it as a regular user, but only you, set the uid as
yours. If there is a group that is trustworthy than you can set the gid
as that group - eventually make a new group just fo this. For more
details check the fstab man page. And for even more details the mount man
page will be enough.
