One way: use the gid option of the fstab line for your vfat partition
to set the group id of the partiton when mounted.
/dev/hda1 /dosc vfat defaults,umask=002,uid=0,gid=35 0 0
id #35 is the gid for my 'dos' group. Add your normal user to that
group. umask=002 sets the dos group to have read/write access. Man
fstab.
