No. The access rights depend on the owner:group permissions
of the mountpoint directory. The _act_ of mounting depends
on the mounter's ownership of the corresponding device files.

So in order to to only allow wheel group members to access
a certain mount point for ug=rwx, the permissions of that
mount point have to be set. This is done independently from
what /etc/fstab is for (which controls the _act_ of mounting
if all requirements - as mentioned above - are met).

However, there _are_ options that can be included in fstab
for applying a certain mask to files contained in a mounted
directory, see -m and -M in "man mount_msdosfs" for example.
