Something like that.

Via /etc/fstab.

Read the docs that I already pointed you to? :-)

Specifically, look at

http://hal.freedesktop.org/docs/udisks/Device.html#Device.FilesystemMount

Right now users can set/override default mount options / mount-point
using /etc/fstab. In the future there will be something that replaces
/etc/fstab along with a GUI frontend to configure it.

Sure. Note that GNOME and other desktops already supports this quite
well with GVfs.
