The files and directories in the ext2 partition already know who they belong to - they have uids and gids. An easy technique that will probably give you what you want is to mount the stick, then as root create a directory on it called say 'carlos-dir'. Then chown carlos carlos-dir. Now switch back to your normal carlos userid and you'll be able to do whatever you like in the carlos-dir directory.
