Keeping Windows partition available to all users

Ubuntu Users,
I have a 30 GB Fat32 partition where I happen to have my Windows OS
installed.
I can easily read and copy data from it from within Ubuntu. But I can't
delete or move files. Or, I can if I'm in super user mode. But not as a
regular user.
Since I'm the only user of my computer, I want to be able to move,
copy, and execute files without regard for the fact that it's on a
separate drive.
What I have learned so far is that I need to edit /etc/fstab. In that
file, the drive that I want to have access to is referenced like this:
/dev/hda1 /media/hda1 vfat defaults 0 0
I've also learned that I need to place in umask. But I tried this:
/dev/hda1 /media/hda1 vfat umask=0002 0 0
But no luck.
What should the syntax be?
Any advice would be much appreciated.
