Take out the memory card, there's a little switch on it to make it either protected or writable.

FYI, I've had SD cards where this little tab got loose, so it locked itself whenever I inserted the card into the camera. A little bit of scotch tape fixed it right up.

The only other thing it might be is if you or someone else has removed the card from a reader while data is being transfered. This will electronically lock the card.
