For a user to have read/write access, you should do something like this, 
putting in your own user uid and gid (from the files /etc/passwd and 
/etc/group).

/dev/hda1 /mnt/windows vfat 
iocharset=iso8859-1,codepage=850,uid=501,gid=501 0 0 none /proc proc 
defaults 0 0

However, are you really sure you want to do that? I strongly recommend 
that you create a "fake" windows install, and just copy over any files 
you want from the real Windows. Otherwise, you risk messing up the real 
Windows.
