Just taking two examples out of my /etc/fstab file:
LABEL=/boot /boot ext3 defaults 1 2
/dev/fd0 /media/floppy auto pamconsole,exec,noauto,utf8,managed 0 0
The first one is *static* (it won't get changed unless I manually edit
the file), second one is "managed" by fstab-sync. If I remove the
managed option from that line, it becomes a static entry.

Correct. Use one of the other entries as a template to where you put
the different options in.
e.g. /dev/hdb1 /mnt/extradrive auto defaults
Would mount the first partition on /dev/hdb at the /mnt/extradrive
mountpoint (a directory that you'd create), it's automatically
determine the filesystem (though you can specify it for what it
really is), and use the default mounting options.
