The answer is right in your first command: You're using
a MSDOS file system. That particular file system doesn't
know about rwx attributes. That's why files have +x by
default. You can not remove the x attribute from them
because they actually don't have one.

However, you can mask that "false-positive" attribute
by using the -m option. See "man mount_msdosfs" for
details. You can also use it in your /etc/fstab's
options field to make it a default.
