Moshe, Wine does not support hardware, so it cannot install any drivers under wine, nor any USB devices. It can use some "wrappers" to make devices which are already have Linux drivers installed and loaded - can use the hardware with wine.
IMHO, your best bet would be to install the webcam using Linux driver (I think your cam is already supported under Linux) and use a native Linux program with it. Kopete for example supports webcams so you can use it with other people who use MSN messenger or Yahoo or ICQ.
