[newbie] fstab for fat32?

Yet another newbie request:
I've got all my documents, music, and other junk on some fat32 partitions
that I'd like to mount under my Debian Woody setup. So far I've been using
the following fstab entry:
/dev/hda5 /windows vfat defaults,users,umask=0,quiet
/dev/hdc7 /storagea vfat defaults,users,umask=0,quiet
What this does is set everything 'rwxrwxrwx root root' and let me do my
business as a regular user without having to worry about permissions and
stuff. How un-UNIX!
Predictably, now my problem is that I am giving a good friend a shell account
on my machine and I want some more control. While in my normal user account
I still want read-write-execute access on all the files on those drives, for
my friend's account I would like to give him no access to /windows and
read-only access to /storagea.
What would be the best way to go about this?
Thanks,
-Antony
