Use the "umask" option when mounting the file system. Umask is
supposed to be the bits *not* to set in the file permissions.

That would be

  mount /dev/foo mnt -oumask=000

(of course just 0 would suffice. Old rituals and that ;-)

For more options, you separate them with comma, like so

  mount /dev/foo mnt -ouid=richard,gid=richard,umask=003

supposing you want the files to belong to user (uid) "richard" and
group (gid) "richard" and want to take away write perm from others.

The details are in the "mount" man page, under "FILESYSTEM SPECIFIC
MOUNT OPTIONS", "Mount options for fat".

You can set the options in the fstab, if you make an entry there
(fourth field, see man fstab).
