Can you save to the disk when a notch on a floppy disk is open?
Write-Protect Tab (you call it a "notch") is a little plastic rectangle in the upper right corner of most floppy disks. When the hole is open, the disk is locked and you can't add any more files to the floppy. If the write-Protect Tab is missing, simply cover the hole with a bit of sticky tape and you can add more files to the floppy..
What do you understand by write protection of floppies and how is it done?
For 5.25" and 8.00" disks there are "write notches" on the jacket of the disk. They are on the opposite end of the jacket from the read slot (where you can see the surface of the disk). Single-sided media will have one write notch and double-sided media will have two. To write protect a disk of this type, simply fold a piece of sturdy tape (like masking tape) over these notches and the disk will be protected. Most discs come with adhesive tabs for this purpose. For 3.5" floppy disks, there are "write protect tabs" built into the disk shell. These tabs are located in the corners of the case opposite the shutter-end. By moving the tab to the "open" position (you can see through the shell) you write protect the disk. The only exception to this is "OEM" floppy disks made specifically for software companies. These floppies were manufactured without the write protect tabs so they couldn't be written to after initial production. This can be defeated by simply taping over the tab area with opaque tape.
How do you enable write in floppy disk?
Turn the floppy disk so that the metal ring with the two holes is facing you, and the metal shutter is pointed towards the floor. Look at the top left corner. You will see a plastic tab. When the tab is open (creating two holes at the top of the disk), the disk is write-protected. When the tab is closed, the disk can be written to.

How to protect a floppy disk?
To write-protect (stop deletion, overwriting, or adding to) a 3 1/4" floppy disk, slide the tiny plastic tab at the back of the disk (opposite the shutter), so that it is open. To protect a disk from damage, keep it in a dry, temperature-controlled environment free of dust and smoke. Avoid any contact with strong magnetic field (sudh as on top of stereo speakers).

Can you write-protect a disk that wasn't already write protect?
Yes. Floppy disks have a movable tab that when open prevents the drive from being written to. SD cards have a small slider on the side that serves a similar purpose.
