Which is perfectly normal. Mount the partition and change the
diretory permissions afterwards.

The reason why vfat-partitions are writeable by the user comes
from the missing permissions and ownership informatoin which can't
be stored in the filesystem. So the kernel developers decided that
the running user is used as default user and you could supply
permission masks in the mount options.

Reiserfs (or ext2, xfs or whatever) are real filesystems which can
store the permissions. To be able to write on them you have to
think like they were just another directory.
