Diego,
  Just use the chown, chgrp, and chmod commands

General Usage:
chown <new owner> <path to directory>
chgrp <new group> <path to directory>
chmod <world permissions><Group Permissions><Owner Permissions> <path to 
directory>


specific example:
Assumptions:
   User = bob
   Group = bobs_group

chown -R bob /media/mounted_volume
chgrp -R bobs_group /media/mounted_volume
chmod -R 077 /media/mounted_volume

Note: 077 = No permissions to world, Read/Write/Execute permissions to 
Group, Read/Write/Execute permissions to Owner
