        add a "user" to the fourth column where the partition is declared.
that would allow any user to mount it. may be adding "umask=666" or
"umask=777" will allow any user to write anywhere.

        I advise using the "noexec" and "quiet" options too: the first
makes the files with exec perm off (on by default; annoying when trying to
"get inside" of, e.g., a .tar file with the mc) and the last to avoid
error messages when some utils like cp, mv and others tries to put
permissions and ownerships to files copied or moved to (v)fat fs.
