rtfm!

Mounts the filesystem and makes it owned by <uid>. The umask option gives
no permissions to "group" and "other".

The above is what you run once from the command line to make sure it
works. When satisfied, put the corresponding entry in /etc/fstab.
Probably something like:
/dev/hdb1 /mnt/windows vfat uid=<your uid>,gid=<your gid>,umask=077 0 0
Note I added gid= ... you should too. Also, you can add ,user after
umask=077 to allow normal users to mount the fs. This should be
relatively safe since it will get mounted as accessible by you only.
