In most of the USB based flash/pen drives, write protection is provided via the small notch. First of all look for it in sides of your drive. Itās even marked with lock/unlock symbol. Move/slide the notch to unlock position (means releasing write protection) before you perform any file operations in your drive such as copy/paste/format etc. After that you can slide back the notch to lock position safely.
But many of the pen drives donāt provide hardware lock/notch for write protection. Instead they back it up by means of some software/tool. From there you can change the write protection lock/unlock option. Refer to your pen driveās manual for more details in this regard as different pendrive have diferent ways to to unlock them or otherwise you can also take help of some tools to unlock them.

METHOD #4
There are a series of options in the Group Policy Object Editor that deal with read/write permissions on hard drives and removable media. I basically changed their individual settings from āNot configuredā to āDisabledā.
Start -> Run⦠-> gpedit.msc -> OK
Computer Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> System -> Removable Storage Access
In here I disabled all of the āDeny read access/write accessā options; you may only want to disable the ones relating directly to the type of media that you want to access.
Here are the ones I changed:
Removable Disks: Deny execute access
Removable Disks: Deny read access
Removable Disks: Deny write access
Double-click each one and select the āDisabledā radio button.
Do the same as above, except the first step is āUser Configurationā instead of āComputer Configurationā
(Best result if you try both method #1 and method #4 together)
Enjoy!!!
All the methods mentioned are tested and they works well in my PC.
