A mounted partition is owned by the user who mounted it right? How can I mount it for the owner "nobody"? Is that possible?

Here's the situation. I have a partition mounted with fstab at boot time, and I want to share that through SAMBA. The problem is that only the user looged in to that Linux box can write to the partition.

How can I share the partition so that users on other computers can write to the partition?
 
Mount the partition as root and then change the permissions on the folders you want to share.

chmod 777 /mount_point (this gives everybody full access, probably not a good idea, but I'm using it as an example)
