writing to Windows partition

["Dick Brown" <dikbrown@xxxxxxxxx>]

As I mentioned in a previous message, I'm running dual boot 
WinXP/Fedora.  To enable the easy access to certain data files from both 
OS's, I've set up a vfat partition.  My problem is that everything on 
this partition has "root" as both owner and group, and only root has 
write access, so I have to jump through hoops to edit any file there 
while in Linux.

I've tried changing permissions, as well as user and group ownership, 
but to no avail.  I've looked in /etc/inittab and everything looks 
normal (i.e., default).  I'm sure there must be an easy way to do this, 
but I'm still too new to Linux to know what it might be.  Any help would 
be appreciated.

Thanks,
Dick
