I have three small (512 mb) FAT partitions on my drive to I can
easily swap data between the Win98 partition and the Linux side.
They each have an entry in /etc/fstab and each is mounted on boot.
Ownership for all three is set for user: nobody; Group: users. Both
the owner and the group "can view and modify content."
The fstab lines look like this:

/dev/hda8	/mnt/d-drive	vfat   
nosuid,nodev,noexec,gid=users,uid=nobody,quiet,umask=2 0 0

HTH
