/usr/src/linux/Documentation/filesystems/vfat.txt will have the exact
syntax that you should be using. This may be different on your kernel
than mine :)

This fstab line should work.... 
        /dev/hda1 /mnt/windows vfat rw,umask=0 0 0

NOTE: a quick google showed that 2.6.0-test5-mm3 did weird things with
that line, but this was fixed by -mm4. If you are running that
particular kernel version - upgrade :)
