RTFM, mount_msdos(8),
-u uid Set the owner of the files in the file system to uid. The
default owner is the owner of the directory on which the file
system is being mounted.
-g gid Set the group of the files in the file system to gid. The
default group is the group of the directory on which the file
system is being mounted.
-m mask
Specify the maximum file permissions for files in the file sys-
tem. (For example, a mask of 755 specifies that, by default, the
owner should have read, write, and execute permissions for files,
but others should only have read and execute permissions. See
chmod(1) for more information about octal file modes.) Only the
nine low-order bits of mask are used. The default mask is taken
from the directory on which the file system is being mounted.
