Usually that information is on the face of the CD itself along with the brand name. It will have CD-RW or CD+RW. The plus or minus signs indicate what type of re-writable the CD is. If the face of the CD is blank, look at the clear area around the center hole. The information should be stamped there.

It will be marked as such. If it's a store bought CD of your favorite band, it wont be rewritable. If you bought a blank CD for burning, it will be marked as CD-R, for CD Recordable, ie not rewritable, or CD-RW, for Rewritable. It should say on the cd. CD-R is not rewritable, but CD-RW is.
