You would have to Create an NTFS partition, write the content you want to the USB drive and then use diskpart utility in command line and use the command "attributes volume set readonly" once you've selected the volume You could use diskpart to set the drive as readonly it is simply a signal to the software reading the device that it shouldn't allow write access and as such is still software dependent and can be overridden.
To add to this even if it has this switch the switch does not physically prevent a person from overwriting the usb key. Maybe the OP doesn't have the ability to do this, which would force him to require a software method of sorts. One of the major problems with this suggestion is that NOT all USB drives have this hardware lock feature. Flash drives are cheap, so if you need to replace them, just destroy them. Just glue the switch so no one can move it. It's the first response and people are still coming up with nonsensical ideas. If the employee changes stuff the date modified is off and I just format and recopy the data. Most of our read and review is done on a network share. My personal rule is to only use USB drives for redundant data.
Many drives have a hardware lock feature.
