Look on the left hand side, you will see a "lock" slider:

This may be in the wrong position, which will cause the medium to be
read-only. Alternatively, the slider may have fallen out entirely and
therefore be rendered effectively useless! I have had this happen with
some SD cards. (Compact Flash FTW!)
