The only way to ground your system if you're using plastic boxes is to continue the chain by connecting your ground wires together--just as you would with the hot and nuetral wires--through the entire circuit all the way back to the whole house gound in the circuit breaker panel.

How do you ground a plastic box ground wire attached to GCFI and ground at fuse panel. Do I need to ground at the box itself as well?

If the plastic box has a ground wire attached to the GFCI and the ground at the fuse panel, you do not need to ground the box itself. As long as the ground wire is connected to the GFCI and the fuse panel, the box will be effectively grounded. Just ensure that all connections are secure and properly fastened.
