I have never tried to do this before (to a fat), but doesn't it work the same as any other directory or file:

If the directory was named "sandy"

chmod 777 sandy

**the result should be: drwxrwxrwx

chmod 755 sandy

**the result should be: drwxr-xr-x

chmod 700 sandy

**the result should be: drwx------

chmod 644 sandy

**the result shoud be: drw--r--r--

and: chmod 000 sandy

**the result should be: d---------

[root@localhost mnt]# chmod 777 windows
chmod: changing permissions of `windows' (requested: 0777, actual: 0755): Operation not permitted
