Type 'man mount' in a terminal and you will see listings of all the options
for all file system types.

-------
umask=value
Set the umask (the bitmask of the permissions that are not
present). The default is the umask of the current process. The
value is given in octal.
codepage=value
Sets the codepage for converting to shortname characters on FAT
and VFAT filesystems. By default, codepage 437 is used.

To be honest I do not know why codepage is set to 850. It is just what
Mandrake sets it to by default. The important option from your point of view
is umask=0 That will allow all users to read/writeto your vfat partition.
The 'quiet' option stops you getting messages from konqueror complaining that
vfat does not have any permission bits to set.
