you could always mount it with ....

mount -t vfat /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy -o umask=0000

this should se the permissions to allow everybody to read/write,

when mounting vfat filesystems the permissiosns are normally taken from
the directory of the mount point as fat filesystems dont support
permissions.
