It's the ownership of the partition in Linux. FAT has no ownership
information so Linux fakes it by designating a pseudo-owner when
mounting. You can change this owner by adding the fstab mount option
uid=X where X is your account's uid, which you can check by running the
program "id". It'll be 500 if you are the first normal user on the
system.
