have you tried switching the little switch on the side of the card? it should have a locked switch that you can turn off

If the above suggestion doesnt work then I am pretty sure I can unlock this, but it will loose all the dats on it.

I dont think there is any free solutions available though.

there's no switch on a micro sd card, theres also no data on it as i cant write to it

have you got the adapter to make it an ordinary SD? - i think the adapters have a switch - you could try that and then go from there.

tried that, still the same, disc is not writable

reformat it

I remember years ago there used to be a low level format tool for flash memory cards to recover errors etc but ive not heard of anyone using it or needing it in a very long time

try this

I had a problem with a digital picture frame and used a program called killdisk that sorted it. Might be worth a try m8, www.killdisk.com

Try formatting the card in the phone first, then try writing via card reader.
