Hi Sezer,
  I already submitted the patch to the linux-media related mailing list. But... I really don't know how many time it will take to be included in official Ubuntu kernel...

In the while, you can patch by yourself your kernel. Login as root (sudo
su -), and then:

 apt-get build-dep linux-image-`uname -r`
 apt-get source linux-image-`uname -r`
 cd /usr/src/linux-3.13.0/drivers/media/usb/gspca
 wget https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1400164/+attachment/4296240/+files/vc032x.diff
 patch vc032x.c vc032x.diff
 make -C /usr/src/linux-headers-`uname -r` M=`pwd` gspca_vc032x.ko
 cp gspca_vc032x.ko /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/media/usb/gspca/
 rmmod gspca_vc032x
 depmod -a
 modprobe gspca_vc032x

Start you favorite application, and the camera now should work
correctly!

If the kernel will be upgraded, you have to make another time all the
steps if the main kernel release changes (e.g., if you will get 3.16.0),
otherwise you should do only the following steps:

 cd /usr/src/linux-3.13.0/drivers/media/usb/gspca
 make -C /usr/src/linux-headers-`uname -r` M=`pwd` gspca_vc032x.ko
 cp gspca_vc032x.ko /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/media/usb/gspca/
 rmmod gspca_vc032x
 depmod -a
 modprobe gspca_vc032x


Ciao!
  Luca
