Answer 1

The FAT file system does not support security so you are not able to set ACLs in the way you illustrate in your question.

Answer 2

You cannot. The FAT file system does not support many advanced features, such as access control lists. (Basically the only feature resembling access control in FAT is the "read only" file attribute bit, which applies to every user)
