Well, I have a vfat partition mounted from fstab,
in which I grant group access to a specific gid.

/dev/sde3     /sde3   vfat   gid=777,user,rw,exec 0 0

users in group 777 can read/write/execute.
They can execute the executable files in wine.

Users in group 777 can mount and unmount.
In order to accomplish this,
the group permissions on /sdd3 and /dev/sdd3  is  rwx,
and the gid of /sde3 and /dev/sde3 is 777.

Good luck.
