Also to turn on the exec option without having to unmount and remount 
the filesystem, you can run:

mount /media/mmc1 -oremount,exec

(or /media/mmc2 for the internal one).

This is somewhat annoying, but since FAT filesystems don't have execute 
permissions, if you mount the filesystem with the exec option, then 
everything on it is executable, which obviously has some security 
implications.
