dos/windows partitions don't have (in the case of NTFS: at least not under
linux) per-file owner, group and permissions (ignoring the ARSH bits).

So Can only set permissions to the whole file system. You have already
recieved a rely on how to do that.

If that is indeed what you need, then you were already answered by Ermon.

But are you sure you need to make it world-writable? You can make it
belong to a user or a group (uid and gid parameters of the mount option)
and have only this user/group write to the disk.

Or you can allow a user to mount the partition .
