Is it possible to run Ubuntu from the USB-drive only, without getting all changes wiped at restart?

Yes, it's possible. The changes are saved on a persistence file which needs to be created when making the diskimage. If you're making the flash-drive image from windows, I presume you're using Universal-USB-Installer, set the persistent file size according to your requirements.universal-usb-installer

Or if you're doing this from some linux distro, you're probably using Unetbootin. In that case, change the persistent space value as per your needs. unetbootin

I believe you will find your answer here in great detail: How do I install Ubuntu to a USB key? (without using Startup Disk Creator) Just scroll down to the best answer choose by the user explaining how to use "testdrive".
