"man mount" says:
If you want to override mount options from /etc/fstab you have to
use the -o option:
mount device|dir -o options
as regards "remount" option it later says:
remount
Attempt to remount an already-mounted filesystem.
This is commonly used to change the mount flags
for a filesystem, especially to make a readonly
filesystem writable. It does not change device or
mount point.

Same man page:
dev Interpret character or block special devices on the
filesystem.
nodev Do not interpret character or block special
devices on the file system.
While a filesystem is mounted "nodev", it can't have device special
files created on it.
Cheers,
Andy
