As opposed DOS (VFAT), ext3 is a real filesystem, with
real owners and permissions. When it's mounted, whether by
root or, courtesy of fstab, by a user, its files have those
real owners and permissions, not those of the mounter. This
is the same as when a standard HD filesystem is mounted.
That's why, per Raj Kiran Grandhi, the fix is to change
the owners on the USB disk. It's just as if root had
created a bunch of files on your hard drive that you, a
normal user, want to have control of.
Keep in mind that if you want other users to be able to
work with these files too, you'll need to set a group you
have in common with those users. (Or put o=rwx permission
on the files, a bad idea in my opinion.)
