Thanks for responding. I have the following line in the /etc/fstab
file
UUID=<something> /home/office vfat uid=500,users,rw,exec 0 0
but still the directory is not allowing user with id 500 to write its
only giving read and execute permission. Am i missing something??
The mountpoint has to permit write operations if you're trying to
write to the root of the volume. So unmount the volume, make sure the
/home/office directory has the appropriate permissions, then mount
the volume. Note also that vfat volumes themselves do not have the
concept of permissions or ownership of files.
