To give read access to everyone, add umask=022 to the flags.  ie

 /dev/hde2     /windows/c      vfat    user,noauto,umask=022 0 0

Or to give read and write access to everyone

 /dev/hde2     /windows/c      vfat    user,noauto,umask=000 0 0

This is specified in the man page for mount, in the section "Mount
options for fat".
