I know that polar molecules can dissolve in water and they cannot enter the cell because the fatty acids repel them ( since fatty acids are non polar) . But what about non polar molecules ? Surely, they can't dissolve in water, because it's polar, so how are they to reach the cell's membrane in the first place?

Non-polar molecules are delivered by carriers. For example, fat molecules are carried in chylomicrons.
