The problem here is that both discs are attached to the same /dev/sda1, and therefore I cannot say to fstab - "put ext3 from /dev/sda1 to /mnt/data" or "put vfat from /dev/sda1 to /mnt/flash"
and
2. when I plug in one of the discs (or both) on the running system, i want that the discs are mounted automatically. The problem here I guess is that automatic mount is possible only for the plugged disc during the loading of the system. Correct me if I'm wrong
Thank you in advance.

with KDE 3.5 and latest Gnome along with udev all usb drives should mount automatically .
You may want to invest at getting Udev working for you.
my USB devices by default in Suse mount like so
/media/<volumelabel>
Ubuntu does it slightly different they chose
/tmp/<random>
both KDE and Gnome creat a desktop icon for the above using Udev
