"man mount" explane's in plain and simple terms HOWTO do it.

Quote from man mount.

       (iii) Normally, only the superuser can mount file systems.
       However,  when  fstab  contains the user option on a line,
       then anybody can mount the corresponding system.

       Thus, given a line
              /dev/cdrom  /cd  iso9660  ro,user,noauto,unhide
       any user can mount the iso9660 file system  found  on  his
       CDROM using the command
              mount /dev/cdrom
       or
              mount /cd
       For more details, see fstab(5).
