Try umask...
E.g.
a) In your /etc/fstab put the following line:
/dev/hda1 /mnt/dos vfat rw,user,umask=000,noauto 0 0
In this case, all users have rwx rights in the DOS partition.
b) Make a group, put the users which you want to have rwx rights in DOS
partition in this group, and use "gid" and "umask" in your /etc/fstab
file.
(Read first man mount).
