I don't think GID applies to VFAT partitions. The VFAT file system does
not support the concept of file ownership. By default, whoever mounts the
partition owns the files.

You can set it up so that normal users can mount the partition. Look in
Linuxconf.

I wouldn't recommend linuxconf, as it dosen't play nice with manually editing your config files. Try webmin, http://www.webmin.com.
