You can read the manpage on fstab. Modify the options of your entry in
/etc/fstab to mount /dev/hda1 with your preferred permissions. Mine:
defaults,rw,noatime,nodiratime,noexec,noauto,user,umask=000,uid=0,gid=0
Allows everyone to read and write to any file or directory, with
executable bits only on directories (that's noexec's job) and everything
owned by root. :)

While I haven't tried sharing a vfat partition using Samba, I don't see
any reason why you shouldn't be able to do this. Why don't you modify the
above options I put, changing the umask and uid/gid as you wish, then
change your smb.conf settings to match these settings by forcing the masks
and using forceuser (?). I remember this is in the smb.conf manpage. :)
