You can specify a uid/gui to use in your mount options:
$ id
uid=1000(icblenke) gid=1000(icblenke) groups=1000(icblenke)
$ su - root
Password:
# mount -o uid=1000,gid=1000 /dev/hda1 /mnt
You can do the same thing in /etc/fstab by replacing "defaults" on
the line where you mount your vfat filesystem with "uid=1000,gid=1000".
Regardless, however, you should be able to copy files as root. If you
cannot, something else is going on (you may be mounting the filesystem
as "ro" (read only) instead of "rw" (read/write), or on some filesystems
you may have immutable or other extended file permissions set (see
"chattr")).
