I'm unclear on the use of umask on a FAT FS (if thats what you meant).

On my dual boot, I had to form the fstab entries below in order for a 
normal user to access them. IIRC, there are 2 or 3 ways to do this.
Look at MOUNT(8)

/dev/hda1         /mnt/win_C          vfat    defaults,uid=500,gid=500  0 0
/dev/hdc1         /mnt/win_D          vfat    defaults,uid=500,gid=500  0 0
