Oops, sorry, this doesn't work for fat32.
It looks like you have to give ownership of the partition by using the

uid=xxx

option, where xxx is a numeric user id 

Afterwards, user xxx will be able to write the partition.

There's also a gid=yyy option to set group ownership, but I never
really used it.
