Should be a switch on the pendrive. Just push it in opposite side. That will disable the write protection.

    There is a "lock/unlock" switch on some of the drives.
    Try this:
    Click > Start > Run > type "CMD" Then

    Type "CHKDSK" and type the letter of your Pendrive and "/F".
    chkdsk Q: /F > press Enter

    another example:
    chkdsk D: /f
    chkdsk E: /f
    D or E is the letter or your pendrive.
