It is impossible to change the permissions of a file on a fat32 partition for
the simple reason that fat32 has no concept of file 'attributes'.
All we can do is 'spoof' the permissions of every file on the partition when
it is mounted. This is achieved with the 'umask' option in the appropriate
line in /etc/fstab
Setting umask=0 will force all files to have 777 permission.
If you prefer diskdrake can set that option for you be selecting the fat32
partition Advanced options.
