Man pages!!!
seriously, in the FSTAB you need to set it up something like this:
/dev/hdb1 /ddrive vfat auto,rw,gid='yourgid',umask=002 0 0
The gid should be the group id you want to have write permissions and the
umask sets your permissions. umask is opposite of what you use, i.e. chmod
775 is umask 002 (7-0=0, 7-0=0, 7-5=2). Setting this way leaves root as
owner, which is what you want to do.
good luck.
FYI...I got this from the man pages. They are a good resource to read.

Subject: [TriLUG] making a window partition read/write
I was wondering if there was a way to make a windows partition both
readable AND writable without becoming root or su. I've tried chown,
etc, but the permissions won't "stick". Admittedly, I haven't tried
suid yet; would this work? Any bright ideas?
