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???

Well, I have a vfat partition mounted from fstab,
in which I grant group access to a specific gid.
/dev/sde3 /sde3 vfat gid=777,user,rw,exec 0 0
users in group 777 can read/write/execute.
They can execute the executable files in wine.
Users in group 777 can mount and unmount.
In order to accomplish this,
the group permissions on /sdd3 and /dev/sdd3 is rwx,
and the gid of /sde3 and /dev/sde3 is 777.
Good luck.
