This sounds a little tricky. One problem is that vfat partitions don't have any "real" permissions. The way you have the samba share coded below with "public=yes" means samba will use the guest user "Nobody" to access the vfat files. If you have the vfat partition mounted at boot time in /etc/fstab, then it was mounted by root. You might try changing /etc/fstab to add the "user" option to the vfat partition, then mount it as user "Nobody". Then, the samba public user should be able to write to it.

Imagine the following situation:
- computer 1 has linux running and there is a vfat partition mounted - computer 1 is running samba on that vfat partition (i.e. the vfat partition is a share of samba) - computer 2 wants to have write acces on the samba share
The problem is, that computer 2 has no write acces, because the vfat partition is mounted 755.
The samba.conf file is the following: [public] comment = Schreibbares Verzeichnis path=/home/sure/netzwerk/public public=yes readonly=no browseable=yes create mask=777
How can I make the partition mounted as mod 777 ? Thanks in advance !
