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!

NAME
mounting - event signalling that a filesystem is mounting SYNOPSIS
mounting DEVICE=DEVICE MOUNTPOINT=MOUNTPOINT TYPE=TYPE OPTIONS=OPTIONS [ENV]... DESCRIPTION
The mounting event is generated by the mountall(8) daemon when it is about to mount a filesystem. mountall(8) will wait for all services started by this event to be running, all tasks started by this event to have finished and all jobs stopped by this event to be stopped before proceeding with mounting the filesystem. The DEVICE, MOUNTPOINT, TYPE and OPTIONS environment variables contain the values of the fstab(5) fields for this mountpoint. EXAMPLE
A tool that should be run before mounting the /var filesystem might use: start on mounting MOUNTPOINT=/var task SEE ALSO
