I have 2 partitions. A windows one and and a storage one. I auto mount both to their corresponding folders in my home folder. The windows partition is owned by root and I just chmod the permission on the folder for me to be writable. I try doing the same for the Storage partition (chmod a=rwx /home/evan/Storage) but not only does it give me permission it also gives me ownership of the file.
Everytime I reboot, the Windows partition will stay writable but the Storage partition will be owned by root again and I will no longer have writing permission.
Here's my /etc/fstab file.

I think this is because ntfs supports ownership, permissions etc. and vfat does not. However, I'm not sure. I take it you are chmoding after the filesystem is mounted, rather than before.
You might want to look into the uid/gid/umask options for mount. Perhaps they would be more helpful. See the manual page for mount.

Why not use umask e.g. umask=111 for the mount option or use uid e.g. uid=1000 to set me as the owner.

Thanks you guys I fixed the problem by adding umask=007 and uid=1000 to the end of my options in fstab.
