Hey there, Abubakar_007.

You could try reformatting it via a different computer/device, to see if the issue still persists. If that doesn't help, you could check out this tutorial: http://www.wikihow.com/Disable-Write-Protection. Hopefully one of the methods described there helps you fix things up. Another option would be to check the USB flash drive manufacturer's website for a formatting tool, so that you could try to reformat the pen drive this way.

Hope that helps. Please let me know how it goes.
