USB flash drives are made of a small amount of flash ram and usualy the size of a persons thumb.
the software that resides on them determins if the "disk volume" is write protected.
if a software program other than the native software that came with the drive has write protected "files" that exist on the drive you will need to find out the name of said program and follow the proceedures for changing the write protection of those files.

In case I've not made myself clear
the "disk volume" means the intire hard drive root and includes all the files on the disk volume
what I think happened to you is you just have files that are write protected
if that is the case you can
right click each folder or file and left click properties and uncheck the read only attribute
then click on apply , then click ok
after doing so the file will no longer be write protected.
you can do the same thing with a folders read only attributes , same proceedure

Help me
SOURCE: write protected
First try to see is there any lock in your usb pen drive and see if its
not locking the pen drive, because some pen drives comes with that
option to protect usb .it looks like slide switch .for one end it will
lock the media and when you switch to other side you have the full
access
but if that's not the reason it might be the problem with registry
Use the Registry Hack to Disable Writing to USB Drives

SOURCE: how can i remove the write protection on my usb
Try to look for a small tab on your usb flash drive that can be adjusted up or down. If it is lowered, pull the tab up to unprotect it; or vice versa.
Turn on your computer and plug in the drive after your operating system has loaded.
Open "My Computer" and search the list of drives until you find your USB drive letter.
Right-click on the name and click "Properties." Once the options have loaded, go through the tabs until you see the option to remove write protection. If this does not work, go to the next step.
Visit the company website for your USB drive. Go to the help or support section and search for "write protection."
Click on the download section and search for "write protection software remover." Download the program and install it on your computer.
Open the software program. Go to "Option" and click "Remove Write Protection" to unlock your USB drive.
