Keruskerfuest,
Can you not use Disk Utility to remedy this?

Is this the Ubuntu installation flash drive? If so, it is an iso9660 filesystem which is read-only by design. If the Ubuntu doesn't take up the entire drive you can create another partition which you can use for data but that would entail manually mounting on each boot. It isn't really clear what your intentions are?
