I don't think "chown +x" is possible on an alien FS.
On my usb stick with FAT32, all files look like they're executables.
You might simply use:
$ . ./script_file
Manon.

Can not set execute permission to file in usb storage media with fat32 format
Very strange. The usb stick was mounted by debian system automatic. If I login with root and plug usb stick, I can execute the script after automatic mounting. But if I login with user and plug usb stick, I cann't execute it after automatic mounting with message "permission denied".

The automatic mounting is probably setting extra security options.
After you have mounted what are the flags for that mount point? You
can dump all of the mount information with the mount command and trim
down to just that device with grep.
$ mount | grep /media
I expect it might say something like 'noexec' there.
But in general the FAT filesystem isn't a Unix filesystem. You
shouldn't expect Unix filesystem behavior from it. Unix users,
groups, and file modes are not native there. The kernel uses an
adaptor layer to make it mostly appear as a Unix filesystem but it is
far from perfect. Trying to ignore that and act like it is a Unix
filesystem is setting yourself up for a world of hurt.

Well, "chmod +x" might be a bit more likely to succeed.

I think that some extra security options were defined with automatic mounting also. But I don't find where to change them. The mount information as below.
$ mount | grep /media
/dev/sdb1 on /media/6361-6365 type vfat (rw,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=udisks,uid=0,gid=0,shortn ame=mixed,dmask=0077,utf8=1,showexec,flush)
Either root

Oh, I'm sorry. It's a clerical error. I used is "chmod +x", it does not
work.
it does not work because the fat32 format does not support privileges.

You can try to set the default mount options for vfat storage media
by using GNOME config editor under this key:
But in my system (lenny), the execute permission is automatically set:
sm01@stt008:~$ ls -l /media | grep disk
drwxr-xr-x 3 sm01 root 1024 ene 1 1970 disk
sm01@stt008:~$ mount | grep media
/dev/sdc1 on /media/disk type vfat (rw,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=hal,shortname=lower,uid=1 000)

Hi,
Do you receive any error message? Also, did you try as root?
