I googled and found this:

Read the man pages for umask, mount, fstab and this Quick and Dirty 
Guide to Linux File Permissions: 
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/answers.php?action=viewarticle&artid=20

This is what I use in /etc/fstab:
Code:

/dev/sda1 /mnt/flash vfat users,umask=1000,rw,noauto 0 0

hope that helps!
