That is what I understod the question the poster was asking.
Have a look at the man pages for mount and fstab.
When the system boots it looks at fstab to see what filesystems should
be 
mounted. You can put an entry like:
/dev/hda1 /mnt/dos/c msdos  defaults,gid=500 0 0
where gid is set to the group id that you want to be assigned to the 
c files.

In the Redhat distribution, control-panel is a graphic tool used to
invoke the graphic maintenance tools for users, printers networks etc.
In the File System Manager, you will have to go to the FSM menu and 
turn on a few more of the display options to see the uid, gid options.
