Having problems using the mount command

[Bob]

I am definitely a novice at this.

I am trying to mount /dev/sda5 to a mount point in my home directory.  I can
get it mounted but it is read-only.  The command

robert at MARS:~$ sudo mount --read-write /dev/sda5 /home/robert/FAT32SHARE

mounts it but read-only.

Putting the following in fstab has the same problem

LABEL=FAT32SHARE       /home/robert/FAT32SHARE vfat    defaults        0      
2

from what I read 'defaults' should set read-write.

Currently I have to use "files" then click "other Locations" then click
"FAT32SHARE" and it gets mounted at /media/robert/FAT32SHARE read-write.


What am I doing wrong?
