Sure. "man fstab" and look for the "user" keyword. Like so:

/dev/sdb1 /mnt/flash2 vfat noauto,user,umask=000 0 0

Is there any way to just [mount] /dev/sdb1 [on] /media/usb and
transfer files [as an] ordinary user?

Yes. See above.

that works, thanks,
I added
# allow user to
mount
/dev/sdb1 /media/usb auto user,noauto 0 0
to /etc/fstab
and after reboot, I can use "mount /dev/sdb1" to mount that.
