Just to give you an idea.

1. If it bears a manual switch, slide it to the other side.
2. You have a manufacturer software installed on it that protects the usb drive. Try to visit their site.
3. You have installed a third party software.
4. You have your registry turn off usb access, that could also include a virus.

My pen drive has become write protected and now I want to remove write protection from my pen drive,please help me.

Hi Sir.
Please look carefully at your usb pen-drive to see if there is a small switch on there somewhere that is used to lock and unlock the drive. perhaps you may have accidentally put it in the lock position.
If there is a laser pointer on the drive then using the laser pointer may have caused you to accidentally switch to the write protected mode. most drives have a lock/unlock switch on the pen-drive itself...unless it has a program installed on the drive that has encrypted and locked the drives read/write ability. Please let me know if you have success.
Thank you!
