What is exactly the problem? Accessing the files or having greek language support?

Try using codepage=value or the iocharset=value where value is the appropriate language support. Or try adding the utf8 option ot the default section. If by chance it's actually an NTFS partition, try nls=name

If you can read greek, try this page

I googled and got this page, which I'm assuming says this is the right codepage and stuff
Code:
/dev/hda1 /mnt/Win98 vfat rw,user,codepage=737,iocharset=iso8859-7 0 0
although I've also seen 1253...
