Mount point perms have nothing to do with the perms after it's mounted.

ex:

rhws:esoteric:esoteric:130 $ ls -ld /mnt/maxtor
drwx------    2 root     root         4096 Sep 30 09:30 /mnt/maxtor

rhws:esoteric:esoteric:131 $ mount /mnt/maxtor

rhws:esoteric:esoteric:132 $ ls -ld /mnt/maxtor
drwxr-xr-x    4 root     root         4096 Sep 29 17:15 /mnt/maxtor


Need to check out the mounting perms when it's mounted and/or in /etc/fstab.

Are you sure it's vfat?  ntfs is always mounted readonly on Linux.
