Finally! I got my windows partition mounted on Fedora 9. After looking and searching on Google, here’s how I got it worked :
First of all, I’ll list the output of :

[mirantirahmani@localhost ~]$ su -c '/sbin/fdisk -l'
Password:

(I marked my windows FAT32 partition in red and bold. I only mount three of them coz i dont think i’ll use the content of my NTFS partition)
I do it just to figure out where my FAT32 partitions are.

Next step is making mount points for those 3 partitions.
I would prefer login as root. Then, I wrote down commands:

mkdir /media/disk1
mkdir /media/disk2
mkdir /media/disk3

I used disk1 for /dev/sda5 partition, disk2 for /dev/sda6, and disk3 for /dev/sda7. you can actually rename the mount point directory into anything you like but make sure you remember it
The number of mount point you need to mak depends on how many partition you’d like to mount. like in my case, there are 3 partitions to be mounted.

Next, start mounting the partition
I wrote down commands:

mount -t vfat /dev/sda5 /media/disk1
mount -t vfat /dev/sda6 /media/disk2
mount -t vfat /dev/sda7 /media/disk3

To make it permanent
I used command:

gedit /etc/fstab

then I added line into the file /etc/fstab:

/dev/sda5 /media/disk1 vfat defaults 0 0
/dev/sda6 /media/disk2 vfat defaults 0 0
/dev/sda7 /media/disk3 vfat defaults 0 0

then save.
That will cause the partition to be mounted at boot time.

It worked! yayz~

you can try this on your own :-}
