man mount You'll find that you can specify default file permissions for files stored on FAT. You'll probably have to make non-executables executable, an extremely ugly and possibly dangerous solution. A better solution would be to only put data files on FAT. You're not planning on running the executable in Windows are you? Non-linux filesystems don't and most can't understand Linux file permissions. Perhaps you could partition the thumb drive. FAT for data files. ext3 for files that will only be used in Linux.
