You can use the mount option umask. Here an example /etc/fstab line
which lets every user write to the partition:

/dev/hda6   /drv/d   vfat   defaults,umask=000 0 0

If you want to grant write permission only to a specific user you can
use the uid option. This line lets only the user with uid 1234 (login
names can't be used here) write to the partition:

/dev/hda6   /drv/d   vfat   defaults,uid=1234,umask=022 0 0

There also exists the option gid which sets the group of all files on
the partition.
