I'm a newbie, but here's what I did:
If you don't care too much about tight security on your vfat share, just mount the vfat partition, and create a share in samba w/ loose security. i.e.
[mp3s]
path = /mp3s/mp3s
read only = No
That's a vfat samba share on my system and works great. Read, write, install, whatever.
On the other hand, Linux won't let you change the permissions in the vfat filesystems for whatever reason, so you'll be stuck w/ 755. Don't know if this helps, but...
