In /etc/fstab you should put a line such as:
/dev/sda1 /mnt/cruzer     auto    noauto,users    0 0

where /dev/sda1 matches the device that is mapped to your cruzer, auto
(or specific filesystem type) is the filesystem type,  and /mnt/cruzer
is the mount point to be used. Make changes as appropriate.

This then should allow the individual user to mount/dismount it similar
to what is done for cdroms and give the user full ownership.
