Hi all

I have defined a new FAT32 partition in my HD to share docs between
ubuntu and windows. Since all documents i've put there (from inside
windows) have root as user, i tried to change it to my user, to allow
me to edit them.
The command to do it, if i'm not wrong, is 

chown -R user /data

where user is my ubuntu user and /data is the new partition. But it
returns a "operation not permitted" message, and it does nothing.
What am i doing wrong??

thnx in advance
