Mounting ext4 and making active user own the files

OK, so I could not come up with a meaningful title, but the problem is this: I have a removable drive that I created on laptop A. There my user was the first created, so all files on the removable drive are owned by user 1000.

When I mount the drive on laptop A, I can work with the files without any problem, e.g. I can read files with mode bits 400. However, on laptop B, my user is the second one (hence, 1001). So when I mount the drive there on GUI (KDE), I cannot access the same files, because I don’t own them.

The question is: can I mount the drive in such a way that I end up owning the files? Preferably something automatic so that I don’t have to go to the CLI every time I mount something. It seems as if this could be achieved by udisks, but the answer there was sparse on details.
