Make vfat mount permissions easy

When I try to use practically anything in Ubuntu...I run into permissions problems that aren't easily fixed. (No offense, but often the forums aren't that helpful: we get guy's shooting from the hip to try to figure-out the problem, though the developers themselves to great). There are "duh's" which should just be done, the stuff tech CO. s hire normal people to just say "do this": make a button--that's a CEO I once met who literally had to hire people to do that. It's no fault on technical people's side...just that other people want things. to. work. Bug #1 won't be fixed by Ubuntu at this rate.

Here's the deal: if vfat (fat 16, 32, whatever) is mounted it doesn't let one modify much therein. SOMETIMES it does...then suddenly random folders will disallow any modification...and restrict to root. Get the damn root out of the way (this is the feeling a normal user is going to get with Ubuntu really quick)...systems like Vista are annoying, but you CAN get past permissions. Set the mount permissions for Ubuntu to read & write & access & modify & delete & etc for non-linux partitions by default. Further, I've heard very immature linux-evangelists chortling "it's MS's fault for not having built-in permissions for vfat"; well, it's THEIR technology we're borrowing...so we should be so ungracious or idiotic: especially when MS isn't linux. Thus, please no comments about that. Bottom line Ubuntu is supposed to be user friendly right? I'd suggest bug #1 be relegated to #2 until Bug #1, inconsistency and impossibility toward users be fixed; goal #1 for an end-user solution using linux must be "make linux work". Period: no software evangelism or dogmatism allowed.

addendum:
see, stuff like this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VolumePermissions, should not even be an issue. Why are there multiple files controlling permission, overriding settings, etc.? Let's Simplify...simplicity brings elegance. Complexity breeds ugliness. Sure, there IS elegant complexity (take a look inside a cell bio or genetics book), but Ubuntu is end-user here.
