   As far as I know, vfat does not include the notion of owner and group.   
   Those are artificial notions imposed from outside when you mount them.

   They are not owned. Mounting them that way makes linux pretend that they   
   are owned by that user and group, but if you next time mount them with   
   uid-bugs,gid=bunny, that same flash drive will then be owned by   
   bugs.bunny. (assuning bugs and bunny are actually users and groups on   
   your machine).
