Hi,
you have to be root for doing that.
If you changing the permissions of logical volume ( file system ). specify it in /etc/fstab as rw .
man fstab

I have root permissions and in the fstab is the rw entry for this lv. it is a "fat32" filesystem on it, because I want to access from a w2k system over nfs.

Check the documentation for mount. You will need to clear
the umask for the volume. Try adding 'umask=0' to the fstab
entry.
