Is there a little switch on the stick? You may have switched it to protected. Just change the switch and see then if the files are protected.

did this work for you? if not did you try undoing them by selecting them all and going to properties and uncheck the read-only box?

also sometimes if you take out your usb stick without unmounting it properly it does this so make sure to safely remove hardware first:)
