you need to specify a uid and/or gid for the mount
uid is best/most secure if it's only one account (+root of course) that
needs access, if theres more than one login needing write access you'll
have to go with useing gid. My local setup uses the group users to
define family members, any other accounts stay w/ just the unique 
group created for each user (ex. family:users, remote:remote)
adopt this style or create another group , vfatuser or what ever you'd
like and add the users to the group (via linuxconf or manualy in
/etc/groups) once thats done you can modify the fstab 

The option is,
uid=502 
or 
gid=100 
Don't forget proper commas and such and it should go rather painlessly
