You need both the proper codepage and to use /dev/sda1

Now you've failed to specify /dev/sda1, and failed to specify vfat.

Now you've failed to specify /dev/sda1 again.
Try:
mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt/
With your default codepage set to ascii. Or, just make sure that whatever
codepage you have selected as your default is either loaded as a module or
compiled-in to your kernel.
