changing file permissions

[Rob Wultsch]

/stuff is vfat.I have it automaticly mounted with a line in my 
/etc/fstab that reads:
/dev/hda2 /stuff vfat auto,user,umask=000 0 0

I am discouraged by:
root@fearlessrogue:/home/rob# chown rob:rob /stuff
chown: changing ownership of `/stuff': Operation not permitted


Any suggestions???
