Hi All,
I have made a partition in my hard disk and mounted it to
/media/xyz. But i'm unable to change the permissions of the mounted
directory at all.
I want to give read/write permissions to some of the users other than root.

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???
Did you follow
the full instructions?
What does
ls -ld /home/office show?
It should be owned by uid 500 and should have at least
permissions set to 700 (rwx --- ---)
In my case, since I was granting group permissions,
I set the group ownership of the mount point to gid 777
and set the permissions to rwx for owner root, rwx for
the group and 000 for the rest.

What is exactly the command you're trying to execute?

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.

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.

Hi,
I'm using vfat.
So you will never be able to change user or permission for files;
the filesystem just doesn't store them.
What you need is mount options.
man mount
Look at "Mount options for fat", you will find that
uid, gid, umask, dmask, fmask
can help you.

Why not just start out mounting it in /etc/fstab with the owner and group
(e.g. UID and GID) that you want?
Also, check out the
$ blkid
command to mount it with the UUID rather than a partition number that might
change.
I do not recommend the fstab GUI that's available, because it strips out all
the comment lines. :-(

Hi,
I'm using vfat.

What type of filesystem are you using on that partition?
