How can I give a user other than root permission to mount a drive?

did you try to change chmod of /bin/mount ?

beside this, why should any user mount your maybe sensitive data?
for example, you could give users ro/rw access by making changes in your /etc/fstab

You want to add the user option to the device in /etc/fstab. For example, from my fstab for the cdrom:

Code:

/dev/scd0              /mnt/cdrom              iso9660 noauto,unhide,user,nosuid,noexec,ro       0 0

For more details see the fstab manual page.
