In /etc/fstab you need something like this:

/dev/hda1       /windows        vfat    defaults        0       0

And the you will be able to move/copy/create files if you are logged in as
root. There are a few more parameters you can use to add a default uid, gid,
and file permissions to the files. Check "man mount" under the vfat section
for more info.
