Basically, you can't change permissions, because FAT filesystems do not store permission information. This is, I believe, partly the reason for poor security on operating systems that rely on them =D
If you have mounted a vfat partition under nix you *can* change their perms via fstab. The caveat is the whole filesystem (the vfat drive) uses only one kind of perms as a whole -- you can't change individual files' perms... erm ... individually :D
