Are you sure you don't already have a module for that? All popular distros do.

Open an x terminal and command:

Code:

[phil@fancypiper phil]$ su -
Password: 
[root@fancypiper root]# lsmod
Module                  Size  Used by    Not tainted
<snip>
vfat                   12092   2  (autoclean)
fat                    37432   0  (autoclean) [vfat]
<snip>
[root@fancypiper root]#

To mount a fat 32 partition assuming /dev/hda1 is a fat32 partition, create the mount point and mount it there:

Code:

[root@fancypiper root]# mkdir /mnt/win
[root@fancypiper root]# mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/win
[root@fancypiper root]# cd /mnt/win
[root@fancypiper win]# ls

You should see the contents of the partition.

kublador,

I don't want you to take this the wrong way but your asking alot of questions that are very general type questions that are asked all the time. Have you tried searching the forums here at all to try and find your answer before asking. I can gaurantee probably every question you've asked has been asked and answered here multiple times.

Also you might want to search online or maybe look into getting a Linux related book which might help you out. We don't mind answering your questions, but when the information is already out there, it shouldn't be too hard for you to find.
