I have tried this solution and it doesnt work.
sudo fdisk -l output is

Partition table entries are not in disk order

When apply
sudo mount --options remount,rw /dev/sdb1
says: mount: cannot remount block device /dev/sdb1 read-write, is write-protected
When apply this: sudo chown -hR waqas /dev/sdb1
it shows changing the permission of files and gives the log files but result is nothing when i goto the card and check the permission its the same.
same case with the sudo chmod -R 777 /dev/sdb1
and the last one i apply gksudo nautilus when navigate to the card and try to change the permission it says: enter image description here and window close after a second. So I am not sure what to do.

Note:
Ubuntu 13.10
this card was in Android phone and somehow got messed up with the permissions.
written on card: Micro SD card HC 4GB

I just came across the same problem. The reason for the error message is that there is physical switch that prevents a write to the media. You SD adapters have one. But micro sd doesnt.

Solution: (Obvious :P) Flip the switch in the SD card adapter and plug it in.

  • micro card doesnt have switch on it where it is IMAGE ? – Waqas Jan 26 '14 at 13:13
  • Micro SD card doesnt have any physical switches. But an adapter for it is having one. http://www.cheapchips.com.au/resources/image/Micro%20SD%20to%20SD%20adapter.jpg In the left side you can see a small plastic movable thing. What did you mean @RanaMuhammadWaqas ? – Jay Aurabind Jan 27 '14 at 05:06
  • I have that unlocked and it doesnt work either a way changed the adapter jacket even i thought you telling me there is a lock on micro sd card – Waqas Jan 27 '14 at 14:16
  • In that case, I am out of option, sorry. Sometimes your adapter itself is damaged. Or perhaps when you plug it in, the switch automatically changes the state (mechanically) due to some congestion. I cant think of anything else. – Jay Aurabind Jan 28 '14 at 10:49
