You will (likely) want to have a 'umask' statement in the relevant line 
of your fstab file. Have a look at this page:

http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Mount_Windows_partitions_(DOS,_FAT,NTFS). 
Ignore the gentoo origin...for this situation, the differences with 
Ubuntu are not likely to be relevant
Also google for the following terms: fstab linux umask fat
