How can I fix this? Thanks, Jerome
You can't.
The FAT32 filesystem doesn't support permissions and ownership. Those concepts are foreign to the structure. There's no place to store and manage it. You can mount it and read/write with it, but you won't be able to change ownership.
All true, but there is one option available that may help the OP. FAT partitions can be mounted with user and group ID options that make all the files and directories on that file system apear to bear the specified user and group IDs. To do this, include the uid=UUU and gid=GGG options in the mount table or on the mount command line. UUU and GGG are numeric user and group IDs, resp.
