Did athene want to give arachne a chance to repent give reason in support of your answer?
Athena did not give Arachne a chance to repent, at least not in the version I know. According to my texts, Arachne was boastful until the end, and when beaten, rather than beg forgiveness, she chose to kill herself in shame. It could be argues that Athena's curse was merciful, since it meant that Arachne didn't die.
Which goddess did the Romans believe to be Arachne's patron?
The legend of Arachne was Greek, not Roman. She did not have a goddess who was her patron. She was challenged into a weaving contest by Athena because she claimed that her weaving skills were better than hers. This got Athena's annoyed. The Roman poet Ovid wrote a version of this Greek myth in which he used the name Pallas Athene, another Greek name for Athena. In his version, Arachne beat the goddess. Pallas Athene struck Arachne on the forehead three or four times. Arachne could not bear this and she hung herself. Pallas Athene brought her back to life, but, as a punishment, transformed her into a spider so that she and her descendants could spin spider webs. The Roman equivalent of Athena was Minerva.

Did Arachne deserve her fate?
This is a question of opinion, so there may be different views.My view is that Arachne did not deserve her fate; there was no reason that she should be deprived of her humanity because goddess Pallas Athene did not like the idea that someone could weave as well as she could. Of course, the entire story is simply an explanation for where spiders come from prior to modern science.
