You need to specify the rw option in /etc/fstab to write to the
partition.
Here is my /etc/fstab line:
/dev/hda1 /mnt/dos vfat user,rw 0 0
For permissions, you are limited by the filesystem, but maybe using
the options user, rw, uid=blah might be helpful to treat files on the
mount point as if they were owned by the user with uid blah.
