I think you mean it's case insensitive...

Anyway - having a look at "man mount":

[...]
| Mount options for vfat
[...]
| shortname=[lower|win95|winnt|mixed]
|
| Defines the behaviour for creation and display of
| filenames which fit into 8.3 characters. If a long
| name for a file exists, it will always be preferred
| display. There are four modes:
|
| lower Force the short name to lower case upon dis-
| play; store a long name when the short name is
| not all upper case.
|
| win95 Force the short name to upper case upon dis-
| play; store a long name when the short name is
| not all upper case.
|
| winnt Display the shortname as is; store a long name
| when the short name is not all lower case or
| all upper case.
|
| mixed Display the short name as is; store a long name
| when the short name is not all upper case.
|
| The default is "lower".

I guess you actually want "mixed" instead of "lower"...
