Try something like this in /etc/fstab:

/dev/hda1         /mnt/disk        vfat   noauto,user   0 0

The important bit being "user" in the options field. Note that the
"noauto" means it's not mounted at boot time -- not sure if that will
make a difference; still, with this, I can "mount /mnt/disk" as a
normal user and have full write access.
