Dumb questions, but are you sure it's a FAT partition? NTFS is read-only
at this stage to Linux.
cheack the entry in /etc/fstab. The last field (the one with all the
commas in it) has the flags for the mounted file system. If there is a
"ro" in there, that means that it is mounted read only. Try making it "rw".
