Many moons ago i had this problem and somewhere I read that certain
parameters can be added to the Windows partition data in /etc/fstab. I
did this and users can read and write to my Windows partition. Here is
my fstab entry:

/dev/hda2  /dosc vfat  defaults,user,auto,umask=002,gid=101 0  2

Maybe you only need the 'user' bit, but since it works I have left it
like this. 'auto', of course, mounts the partition when I boot Linux.

Hope this helps.
