Data still not exactly...

Ok, now it is somewhat better, but still there is a problem. I have this line now in /etc/fstab:

/dev/hda6 /windows vfat auto,user,uid=300,gid=300

On load the permissions of most of the files and directories on the partition are rwxr-xr-x, which is probably what i would want to have. But if i need a file with rwxrwxrwx permissions i can't somehow do that. With command chmod +w filename it doesn't change anything. if i remove w access to a file and then do the above command again it only puts the w on the user (rwxr-xr-x) and not the group or for all users.

Is there a way of somehow change that?

P.S. I'm on Red Hat Linux 7.1 on P4 1.5GHz

And thanks again!
