This problem affects me on Ubuntu 13.04 64-bit, running nautilus 3.6.3 from default repositories. This is a fresh install with all available updates installed.
All USB drives show "Error while copying to "[name of drive]." The destination is read-only."
Tested with three working USB sticks, all formatted FAT-32 via Gparted. Able to use touch, cp, mv, mkdir via terminal with no problems. Simply unable to create folders, drag files, or copy/paste files though nautilus.
Here is the terminal output from running 'mount' with one of these USB drives plugged in, after receiving error message. Note, USB is last disk listed, /dev/sdh, mounted under /media/mike/SanDisk:
