Subject: cannot do chmod

Good day...

I need help on this... I mounted my windows partition on
the /mnt/win directory. The strange thing is that there is
no execute permission for the group and others category 
on the /mnt/win directory. So I tried to `chmod -v go+x /mnt/win'
and it printed out that the chmod was successful. BUT when
I do an `ls -l /mnt' the file permissions were unchanged. This is the first
time I encountered this problem and I really have no idea why
this is happening.

The reason why I want to place an execute permission on the /mnt/win
directory is that I want other non-root users to access the windows 
partition. 

Does this have to do with the mount options? If it does, I placed the
contents of my fstab below in case you guys want to find anything wrong
with it. I don't know anything else that might cause this problem. 

[these are the contents of my fstab]

/dev/hda5        swap             swap        defaults         0   0
/dev/hda7        /                ext3        defaults         1   1
/dev/hda6        /home            ext3        defaults         1   2
/dev/hda3        /mnt/win         vfat        defaults         1   0
/dev/cdrom       /mnt/cdrom       iso9660     noauto,owner,ro  0   0
/dev/fd0         /mnt/floppy      auto        noauto,owner     0   0
devpts           /dev/pts         devpts      gid=5,mode=620   0   0
proc             /proc            proc        defaults         0   0
