1. The type should be vfat, not fat.
2. /dev/sda is the entire device, not the partition. It should
be /dev/sda1 or similar.
3. Does /mnt/temp exist?

The name may not be usbdisk, but it should show up in /media and thus
the command above with the proper name should work. Different devices
get different labels in /media when plugged in.
Mine is " mount /media/UDISK_2.0 " to mount as my user, or as root I
can do "mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /media/UDISK_2.0"
