My USB type is FAT32. I tried to solve problem using terminal (https://askubuntu.com/a/96929/130182), but it gives me an error: 

mount: special device /dev/sdb1 does not exist

How I can change permissions on FAT32 flash-drive?

Your are on the wrong track.

The message has nothing to do with a permission problem.

The problem is that the usb drive is not recognized below /dev/sdb1.

This may have two different reasons:

  1. The stick has no partition table. That means that the file system is on /dev/sdb (not the 1st partition). Try to mount instead /dev/sdb.
  2. The stick is assigned to another device name. Please have a look on the dmesg output just after inserting the stick.
