/mnt/win_c: access denied

[Slyer]

I have 3 windoze partitions and they are all mounted. The fstab look like this:

/dev/hdb10 / reiserfs notail,noatime 0 0
/dev/SWAP none swap sw 0 0
/dev/cdroms/cdrom0 /mnt/cdrw iso9660 noauto 0 0
/dev/cdroms/cdrom1 /mnt/dvd iso9660 noauto 0 0
/dev/hda1 /mnt/win_c vfat defaults 0 0
/dev/hdb8 /mnt/win_c2 vfat defaults 0 0
/dev/hdb11 /mnt/win_d vfat defaults 0 0
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0

I set the 3 partitions with chmod like this:
chmod a+rx -R /mnt/win_*
But I can't access those partitions when I'm a normal user. I can when I'm root... Can somebody explain to me why???
