Flash drives are rewritable, and items can be put on and off numerous amounts of times, with no end. The whole point of the flash drive is to transfer files from one computer to another, unlike the CD which is not rewritable and can only be burned once, and must pay for another one for another file.

∙ 11y agoThe whole point of a flash drive is for it to be rewritable, as "Flash Drives" function more or less as small external hard drives (I know that there are MANY key differences, just bear with me.)
However, you CAN compress the files with a program such as winrar and password protect the actual files within the drive, but that would only prevent the files on the drive from being altered.
You can even go a step forward and password protect the flash drive itself, there ARE some programs for that, and they may have the options you are looking for, however, I am not 100% sure on their functionality, because I haven't tried one for myself (I have no need to.)

Will flash drive work in mac then on pc?
When you buy a flash drive it is already formatted in a way that Windows can understand. The good news is that Macs can understand it too. So you can use a Mac to save files onto the flash drive and then read them on a Windows PC, or the other way round, no problem. If you used Disk Utility on the Mac to format the flash drive, then there is a chance that Windows won't be able to read it. So don't do that unless you know what you are doing.
