I *think* you can use the uid= and gid= options, for example
Code:
mount -t vfat -o uid=nobody,gid=users,noexec /dev/hda1 /somedir
I can't say for certain - I don't it myself though. Have alook at the mount manpage (man mount) for more details that might help. The noexec isn't strictly needed but you probably don't want to be able to attempt to execute anyold file from the partition anyway, not the best for security!
this is how I mount my windows partition. I do not know how secure it is - works though. this line from my /etc/fstab ...
/dev/hda1 /win vfat defaults 0 0
/dev/hda1 is the windoze partition and /win the mount point (needs to be created first). You may need to change the vfat if you are using that fat32 file system in doze.
